so maybe do the tiniest amount of critical thinking before posting this nonsense (or even believing it).
They’re masking the millions of new dead in the alien abduction numbers…c’mon, they’re not stupid.

Why let facts get in the way of a good story? Or belief?

I’ve yet to see a report if it was a Capt, CoPilot, male, or female, heart attack or miscarriage or aircraft systems. Am I missing something or are you all chasing rabbits?

Not sure if you're just not doing any research or just keeping up with the industry.. but-

Good site for info on Safety issues around the world. Then again, only when they "hear" about it.

I used to be one of them until I had a medical wake-up call. If I was looking at an extended medical leave I’d much rather have 700 hrs in my sick bank and burn that at full pay with benefits than deal with LTD. Personally, I’d rather increase our accrual rate and improve LTD under our current plan than have just enough sick time to take me to LTD under a plan like that at Delta.
It’d take nearly 12 years to accrue that much sick time…. if you never call in sick.

Not arguing about anything, just an observation.

I was able to look at the crew on EZ Chat and it indeed appeared to be two (male) captains, probably one getting a GUA checkout.

I think he made the point that accrual rate needs to improve drastically so it doesn't take 12 years.
