PILOTS, COVID JABS AND WARNING OF DISASTER

Increase in distress calls sounds horrifying alarm

SALLY BECK has written two excellent reports on pilots for The Conservative Woman. Here, News Uncut is republishing part of her latest story. A link for the full article can be found at the bottom of the article.

WE had a tremendous response to our report last month, ‘Pilot warns of airline industry disaster due to Covid vaccines’. It looked at the huge increase in mayday distress calls by pilots over the last two years. The story went viral on X, viewed nearly 300,000 times, shared more than a thousand times and had nearly 2,000 likes from my shadow-banned account alone. The last time I looked at the Vigilant Fox X page, the repost had 1.7million views and it was reproduced by Canadian physician Dr William Makis on his Substack. Makis is also following pilot incapacitations closely.

My X post was translated into many languages, including Israeli, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Russian and it became the most-read story on the TCW site that week with more than 56,000 views to date and just under 400 readers’ comments, incisive as always.

We clearly hit a nerve, so we are revisiting the subject to answer some of your messages and to clarify issues that you were confused about. Many were sceptical about the numbers and puzzled as to why, if so many pilots were becoming incapacitated, we were not hearing about it on the BBC.

The figures provided by former Virgin Australia pilot Captain Shane Murdock, 65, a qualified air accident investigator, of a 386 per cent increase in mayday calls in the first three months of this year and a 272 per cent increase in mayday calls in 2022, were not broken down into cause. However, we would have heard if fires had been regularly breaking out onboard or there had been a sharp increase in aircraft crashes. What we do know from UK freedom of information requests is that there has been a significant increase in pilots being medically downgraded, both Royal Air Force (RAF) and commercial pilots.

Statista provide a pre-Covid comparison on number of flights taken globally that clearly show how industry was affected by lockdowns. In 2022, there was a 272 per cent increase in mayday calls with 30 per cent fewer flights. Something is clearly going on.

There have been many stories of pilot incapacitations and I covered them in detail here in my story ‘Authorities in denial over vaccine link to soaring pilot deaths’, and here in ‘Jabbed pilots’ roll call of death and injuries’. There is also a comprehensive list of pilots incapacitated this year while on duty and those who died suddenly off duty here.

The latest incapacitations occurred on November 29, November 26, and October 30 2023. Last Wednesday the first officer in American Airlines flight 755 from Paris to Philadelphia suffered a seizure. He was pilot at the time and the seizure caused his feet to jam under the rudder pedals.

Cabin crew removed him and the captain took over immediately. The first officer was taken to hospital on landing. The previous Sunday, a pilot became incapacitated on Ryanair flight FR-3472 from Luton to Poland. The Boeing 737-8 MAX was diverted to Krakow. Last month, during a flight from Manchester in the UK to Turkey, a Jet2 Boeing 737-800 pilot became incapacitated and the airliner had to make an emergency landing in Budapest, Hungary. The incident was reported in the Aviation Herald (which is a good source of information for pilot incapacitations).

In September there were three incidents on successive days. On September 24, an Austrian Airlines captain became incapacitated on flight OS-188 from Stuttgart to Vienna. The first officer took control of the aircraft. A day earlier, 37-year-old Captain Eric McRae died suddenly in his hotel room during a layover. An Alaska Airlines pilot, he was due to fly that morning. The day before that, on September 22, the pilot became incapacitated on Delta Flight DL-291 from Paris to Los Angeles. The plane was diverted to Minneapolis, and he was taken to hospital. There were 22 other incidents between March and the beginning of September 2023…
