What's weird is pilots predicting higher oil prices who are surprised about panic buying before prices go up.

Global Cooling, Delta a boutique 7,000 pilot airline, business travel is dead forever/Zoom for all my friends, no more toilet paper, Peak oil, Y2K. Take your pick of alarmist doom and gloom. You have almost no control over (other than not engaging in the hysterics) most of this anyway, so tuning it out isn't necessarily a bad idea for most.

It's his passive aggressive way of saying "I told you so". Why or what he tells you or why it is so is irrelevant to him.

Is that why almost everything he says is either wrong or irrelevant to seniority list pilots?

to be fair, Y2K was a nothing burger because a lot of people put in a lot of work to fix the code before the systems crashed. A coordinated effort that actually paid off.
