Put that money into paying for visas for Canadian pilots to come work for you. Highly trained and type ratings included. Why is no one looking at this?

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.

Wait a few years until the last of the boomers are required to retire. The "massive" shortage will turn in to a reason to extend the retirement age to 70.
