Absolutely. Lots of issues factoring into the equation.

its simple, the lowering of hiring standards (hours requirements/college degree/etc), massive hiring wave + pressure to expand airline networks devastated by covid has created a lot of strain on the system. add in the early retirements of ATC and senior pilots during COVID...this has created a system where there are thousands of new, inexperienced crew members (no fault of their own we all start somewhere), working in a system where safeguards and margins are thinner than they were in the past. dispatch, below wing, ATC, pilots, ramp control etc....lots of new people in new jobs with rapid expansion. the stress is showing. i double+triple check every runway i cross these days and don't take anything for granted how many new ATP pilots entered the system since 2021? how many pilots have airlines hired? break break i know i'll get shit for this but it doesn't help when every major airline is constantly sending out emails and pats on the back for how many new hires are DEI or women or gay. what does that contribute to the problem? unknown. but it doesn't make it better the trope "diversity makes us stronger" is a farce. it doesn't. skilled pilots/crew members REGARDLESS OF THEIR COLOR, SEX, RELIGION makes us stronger and better. no one is prevented from becoming a pilot because of their background. YES there are areas of society where the barriers to entry were/are higher, but honestly that is life! go out, work hard, train hard, and get it. our society has to move away from DEI metrics. and scrubbing training folders/failures to keep up with the woke narrative is not making the airline industry safer.

sex has nothing to do with it.

why do you think? just listening to the radio call says everything

it's very easy to understand why this is happening

I wonder what it could be! 💉

chief of staff doesn't pay enough plus i don't have my masters or ACSC in correspondence done...and don't foresee myself ever doing it if you think the russians blew up their own pipeline you're a silly goose

This is a strange post.

I rest my case. “read a book” “educate yourself” you guys are foolish. And arrogant. ukraine isn’t worth starting WW3. Never was. And now you military industrial complex simpletons are foaming at the mouth for it.

Yeah. The officer corps is arrogant. That’s not a “O vs E thing”. It’s on display in this thread. military officers arrogantly wanting to poke the Russian bear in the eyes and arrogantly advocating to fight WW3 (lord ratner). This is the same professional officer class who pussied out the last 20 years in the GWOT and constantly told congress were “almost there” in Iraq and Afghanistan. Never had the balls to say “we are losing”. Never had the balls to put your (that’s a general “your”) careers on the line to call a spade a spade. Just happy to pass the buck and make the next rank. The same pussy officers who tout the “diversity is our strength” woke bull shit trope. And now you mother fuckers think you’re so smart and can defeat a nuclear armed Russia? you think you’re so fucking smart to win at a geopolitical chess game with a country (Ukraine) no one gave two fucks about just a few years ago? Jesus Christ man. Talk about some unbridled arrogance.

Schumer and McConnell are both domestic enemies. Both are bought and paid for. so is our little Air Force boy adam.

I’m sure Germany thought exactly how you do back in 1942. Foolish.

Not what I predicted. Where did the O vs. E come from!? Happy you’re a W. And impressed you know classified information! Keep it “in the green” “bro”

Ok

"The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the forthcoming penalties on refined products could take a significant economic toll on Moscow" i'm seeing a lot of "could" and "may" in these articles tough guy

you know i'll tell ya....the arrogance coming from this officer corps is stunning we took the 'L' in iraq and afg, but sure let's talk tough to russia and china. you guys wanting to stick our nose in a situation with no clear resolution other than escalation and world war. totally foolish. and not in the interest of the united states.

holy fuck the irony....FROM THE LINK YOU JUST POSTED: "Russia's oil drilling plans may be in jeopardy without the West's support" so yes....MAY BE

i can give an example of WWI starting from a regional conflict Japan starting WWII in search of natural resources i guess we are about to see what two nuclear armed countries will do when pushed into a corner. lot of tough guy talk coming from you guys

all of what you just typed out may well be correct to me that's just cornering the wild animal(s) into the corner...both russia and china proceed with caution... nation states do desperate things when their economy/resources are threatened. especially nuclear armed ones...a fact many of you take lightly and dismiss

can we quit the name calling? be better than what you're typing out. they'll turn to the Chinese. and the Chinese will benefit from buying Russian energy at a discount. keep underestimating your enemies!

so if they depend on western assistance who do you think they will turn to for help? hmmmmmmmmmm look i hope you guys are right i really do, but based on the foreign policy of the united states post WWII i'm not holding my breath. ukraine isn't worth starting WW3.

you guys are focused on the wrong threat. it was never russia. it has always been china. and now china is buying russian oil and gas at a discount

what if russia wins?

foolish
