He, I'd sign up if they offered Free flight training and certification. All that can cost over $100,000 - meaning I'd go work to be a Airline Pilot for them if they offered to teach me to be a Pilot, for Free.

I’m 100% in agreement with you. 150,000 already dead and it’ll only keep going up. They’re trying to destroy the world and we must not comply!

So what? People die all the time. Covid or no covid. By the way, doctors tend to name everything covid. The government sends them money for all covid cases. Heart disease? Nah, thats covid. Influenza? Nope, covid. TB? That brown mucus and cough is covid. Athletes foot? Nope. Covid. Here is some cream to help. Acne? Nah. Covid. Halitosis? No. Its covid. The common cold? Nope. And on and on and on.

this offer won't be worth spit when the next aviation shutdown comes around. in a year or two at the most. gubermint mandated seating per aircraft. 50 on a 777.

They still will not know how to fly, they know how to play with the computer.
