Our luck may be running out
I hate to say this, but with all the close calls we have had in the last couple of years, how much longer until we have a hull loss or fatalities?
Whether you blame Boeing, DEI, or whatever, these incidents are happening more frequently and are getting more severe (look at SWA at LGA). These aren’t all your run of the mill slippery taxiways full of snow and a tire goes into the crash kind of incident, they are definitely getting worse.
I am fearful that a major accident is lurking in the shadows. This can destroy an airline’s reputation and likely will cause them to exist in todays world. I cannot be the only guy who is thinking this, right?

For those that don’t know, he was an epic level troll from the dawn of the internet back on the old Flightinfo forum. We’re talking way, way back, like 1998 or so.

General Lee is still the all time champion. This pipe layer is weak.

Nice to hear from you btw. after the blocked Spirit/Jetblue merger. We were all were wondering what happened to you. Hadn’t heard from you in a while.
hope you didn’t lose a ton of money in SAVE stocks like I did.

How the F does anyone think I am trolling? I am merely pointing out my observations about I see with my own two eyes. I am afraid this won't end well and I am imploring our crews to remain vigliant and fly right. This is a big reason why mentoring in our biz is so important. Let the newer people know of your tips and tricks and what you have seen.
As far as being afraid to leave the house, I have dealt with severe anxiety in the past and am no people person, that's for sure. I do ok when at work since I like to fly, but anywhere else I have to go, is still very difficult for me. If you choose to make a mockery out of that, I would rather not talk with someone like that.
