4 off-duty nurses save the lives of people “dying suddenly” of heart attacks; 150 planes grounded by American Airlines alone; 330 “COVID” papers withdrawn for scientific flaws

Guest Post by Mark Crispin Miller

These numbers don’t lie, although “the science” crafted to “explain” them does

From Jerome Dancis (math professor at U. Maryland):

Perhaps nurses’ unions should be bragging about how many lives are saved by off-duty nurses.

Is the following cluster usual or unusual?

American Airlines Struggles With Pilot Deficit, Grounds 150 Aircraft

June 3, 2023

American Airlines, a leading carrier based in Fort Worth, is currently grappling with a significant challenge. The airline is unable to operate approximately 150 of its regional aircraft due to a persistent shortage of pilots, as revealed by CEO Robert Isom.

Speaking at the Bernstein 39th Annual Strategic Decisions Conference, Isom stated, “We would deploy properly to markets that aren’t being served. We would do that today. It’s just we don’t have the pilots.”

This issue arises at a time when the airline industry is witnessing a record demand for travel, particularly during the summer season. However, the capacity to meet this demand is constrained by the lack of pilots, leading to grounded planes and missed opportunities to capitalize on high ticket prices. Isom noted that the situation is more severe than the previous year when the pilot shortage began to significantly affect regional airlines as demand rebounded following the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Looking ahead, Isom shared that American Airlines expects to acquire more pilots for its regional network over the next 18 to 24 months. Once these pilots are onboard, the grounded aircraft will be reintroduced into service in a manner that is expected to generate favorable unit revenues. He stated, “American anticipates getting more pilots over the next 18 to 24 months for the regional network, and those aircraft would be put back into service in a fashion that is going to produce unit revenues that are very favorable.”

However, the challenge of pilot shortage is not unique to American Airlines. The airline industry as a whole is projected to face a deficit of nearly 80,000 pilots by 2032, as per a report by Oliver Wyman.

The report said the supply of pilots is being affected by a wave of early retirements that occurred during the pandemic, a mandatory age of retirement of 65, compounded by an older workforce, a “shrinking pool of potential pilots from the military, and a tough value proposition for perspective [sic] candidates outside the military.”

Over 300 COVID-19 Papers Withdrawn for Not Meeting Standards of Scientific Soundness

May 26 2023

A scientist uses a microscope to look at cells containing [something, maybe] at the Stabilitech laboratory in Burgess Hill south east England on May 15, 2020.

Research journals have withdrawn well over 300 articles on COVID-19 due to compromised ethical standards and concerns about the publications’ scientific validity.

Retraction Watch has provided a running list of withdrawn papers on COVID-19 ranging from “Acute kidney injury associated with COVID-19” to “Can Your AI Differentiate Cats from COVID-19?”

A total of 330 research papers have currently been retracted.

During the pandemic, researchers have compromised on ethical standards and tried to either get more publications approved or to take shortcuts around ethics, senior researcher Gunnveig Grødeland at the Institute of Immunology at the University of Oslo says, after going through the list of articles that have been withdrawn, and the reasons for some of them.

Ed Dowd is undoubtedly correct in his assessment that 30% of the workforce has been compromised by the Covid “vaccine”. They are unable to work because they’re dead, disabled or chronically absent due to illness.
A lack of healthy employees will all but collapse businesses across every sector of employment.
“Safe and Effective”…..Bastards

Listen, I can understand what you’re saying and none of what I am about to say should be taken personally. You just read an article stating the worker shortage in just one industry. Do you think they ordered 300 extra planes with no plan to find pilots to fly them? No. They had pilots to fly them before the contrived pandemic but they now no longer exist. There are shortages of workers everywhere as can be seen on every business with help wanted signs. Just one week ago I was at Carolina Ale. It seats at least 150 maybe 175. Do you want to know how many servers they had that day? One! They had one server for that many tables. There were at least 75 people in there at the time. This wasn’t mismanagement; this scenario is everywhere. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. I don’t think there is just one reason for it however I did not observe this before the contrived pandemic as ubiquitous as it is today. It may not be 30% but it’s close enough to be directionally true.

I see the same thing in every restaurant we go to. They say it’s because no one wants to work anymore. That could be a small percentage of it but I doubt it’s the answer to the extreme shortage. I see help wanted signs everywhere. Aren’t we supposed to be in a recession?
I have to add that when I had my left hip replaced in February, they just opened a brand new orthopedic floor and there was hardly anyone to staff it so most of the rooms were closed.

I stopped going out for meals. Last place I went had 20+ tables and one server. Before that, similar at other places.

Pretty much everywhere prices have doubled, the staffing sucks and the card machine now ‘recommends’ a 30% tip.

I have now quit dining out entirely. I eat better, feel better and no longer have to view the entitled while incompetent fucking up everything they touch while demanding praise for it.

Then bait the next 100-200 million in, repeat until world population smashed down to quantity TPTB have agreed on. Because we hate them, we let it roll on, knowing better than to get involved.

The airlines can get replacement pilots at the Home Depot. Any given morning scads of prospects are near the front door waiting to be hired.

Twerking competitions also have available candidates.

It’s as easy as coding.

Interesting that it is the pilots who are “coding” that have led to the pilot shortage.

In fairness to the “covid” papers, 90% of ‘papers’ and ‘studies’ and ‘scientific reviews’ would be pulled immediately if subjected to any rational application of actual scientific methodology that existed long before we even had computers.

The absenteeism issue is another massive elephant in the room for corporations who submitted to the jabbery. Even smaller businesses run by good people who Did the Right Thing just will not see the correlation even though attrition and attendance are crushing their bottom line. Same goes for those health “insurance” policy renewals.

One of the weaknesses of the modern workforce, which is propped up by dual income, public school daycare, and private daycare wage arbitrage, is that when kids fall ill it often creates not one but two and maybe even three absences.

My wife has to leave town to cover an emergency staffing shortage because a 12 y/o boy who has been suffering an “unknown neurological condition” ever since he did the right thing last year was just admitted to the hospital for an indeterminate duration.

So the working mom is gone, as is the dad for some time since the hospital is not local, and of course the boy has been out of school for weeks.

This already in a market that cannot staff warm bodies and a business that is negative net cash flow, relying upon the investor ponzi model of the post-profit era to keep the lights on. And only then because I suspect the investors are largely foreign and are using flight capital as part of a green card scheme.

I swear every time i think I reach peak cynicism the clowns part and I realize I’m on yet another false summit.

Double clot-shotted pilot friend of the family just had emergency eye surgery for multiple blood clots . He took the shots so he could continue to be allowed to work. Well that didn’t work out so well.

I had seen a GAB post several weeks ago where a lady had reported that an eye doctor had told her father at his eye exam that he could tell he was unjabbed due to the fact that he had no clots in his eyes. Anyone else hearing of this…not GNL though…out of his 2000 facebook friends , he dun’t no nobudy…reeeee

And then there’s this….

What Happens When the Competent Opt Out?

The drivers of the Competent Opting Out are obvious yet difficult to quantify. Those retiring, burning out and opting out will deny they’re leaving for these reasons because it’s not politic to be so honest and direct. They will offer time-honored dodges such as “pursue other opportunities” or “family obligations.”

1. The steady increase in workloads, paperwork, compliance and make-work (i.e. work that has nothing to do with the institution’s actual purpose and mission) that lead to burnout. There is only so much we can accomplish, and if we’re burdened with ever-increasing demands for paperwork, compliance, useless meetings, training sessions, etc., then we no longer have the time or energy to perform our productive work.

2. Loss of autonomy, control, belonging, rewards, accomplishment and fairness. Professor Christina Malasch pioneered research on the causes of burnout, which can be summarized as any work environment that reduces autonomy, control, belonging, rewards, accomplishment and fairness. Despite a near-infinite avalanche of corporate happy-talk (“we’re all family,”–oh, barf) this describes a great many work environments in the US: in a word, depersonalized. Everyone is a replaceable cog in a great impersonal machine optimized to maximize profits for shareholders.

3. The politicization of the work environment. Let’s begin by distinguishing between policies enforcing equal opportunity, pay, standards and accountability, policies required to fulfill the legal promises embedded in the nation’s social contract, and politicization, which demands allegiance and declarations of loyalty to political ideologies that have nothing to do with the work being done or the standards of accountability necessary to the operation of the complex institution or enterprise.

4. The competent must cover for the incompetent. As the competent tire of the artifice and make-work and quit, the remaining competent must work harder to keep everything glued together. Their commitment to high standards and accountability are their undoing, as the slack-masters and incompetent either don’t care (“I’m just here to qualify for my pension”) or they’ve mastered the processes of masking their incompetence, often by blaming the competent or the innocent for their own failings.

5. As the competent leadership leaves, the incompetent takes the reins, blind to their own incompetence. It all looked so easy when the competent were at the helm, but reality is a cruel taskmaster, and all the excuses that worked as an underling wear thin once the incompetent are in leadership roles.

By this terminal stage, the competent have been driven out, quit or burned out. There’s only slack-masters and incompetent left, and the toxic work environment has been institutionalized, so no competent individual will even bother applying, much less take a job doomed to burnout and failure.

This is why systems are breaking down before our eyes and why the breakdowns will spread with alarming rapidity due the tightly bound structure of complex systems.
