Emergency at 30,000 Feet

Another pilot collapsed and died hours before he was scheduled to fly a fully-loaded Airbus A321 from Cairo to Heathrow. The British Airways pilot suffered a heart attack at the crew hotel.
The passengers were not told about the captain’s death.


Captain’s Vaccination Status
There was no word on the vaccination status of the captain. Unlike most international carriers, British Airways is one of the few that believes getting vaccinated is a personal choice. It asks but does not require the crew to disclose vaccination status.
I think it would be a safe bet to assume the captain was vaccinated. Considering the high vaccination rate in the UK and the fact lots of countries around the world had or still currently have vaccination entry requirements - an unvaccinated pilot at an international carrier would have been severely limited in the routes they could fly.
Additionally, the pilot was reportedly in ill health in recent months. Let’s be honest here. Who are the people nowadays that are constantly getting sick?
Here is a Reddit user who is only 25 and vaccinated. She is constantly getting sick. It seems she suffered an initial reaction to the ‘primary series’ and now has had a sinus infection, ear infection, shingles, the flu, a respiratory infection, pink eye and several stomach bugs - This was all in the last 3 months.
Here’s another vaccinated Reddit user whose immune system can’t clear COVID-19. The subreddit r/COVID19positive is full of these stories.
Just days before the BA incident a pilot on Virgin Australia suffered a heart attack 30 minutes after takeoff, forcing an emergency landing.


Fortunately, the other pilot safely landed the aircraft and no serious incident occurred.
The Virgin Australia pilot who suffered the heart attack was taken to the hospital and reportedly doing okay. We cannot say the same about the American Airlines pilot who suffered a heart attack while flying an American Eagle flight last November.


These stories raise all types of questions about aviation safety.
Steve Kirsch reported the FAA has quietly admitted the EKGs of pilots are not normal - prompting the FAA to change the EKG parameter range for pilots so they wouldn't be grounded.
Airlines are also lobbying Congress (and around the world) to allow commercial flights to operate with only one pilot! How would that have worked if the pilot of that British Airways flight suffered a heart attack at 30,000 feet rather than moments before take-off?

A pilot thought his instructor was 'pretending to nap' but the man had actually died inflight
Flight attendant, 24, died suddenly shortly after landing at Stansted
Indonesian pilot dies after landing plane amid health issue (Follow up articles confirm heart attack as the ‘health issue’)
American Airlines Captain Bob Snow Speaks Out About His Vaccine-Caused Heart Attack
It is extremely rare, but not unheard of, to have a pilot suffer a heart attack while flying. When searching the Google News archive (pre-vaccine) the first result of a pilot dying from a heart attack is in 2013 and 2015.
Yet, we’ve seen two pilots suffer heart attacks this month and several others since the rollout. When is the FAA going to talk about it?
This is not a full list of in-flight cardiac arrests. There are others - missing information or small aircraft that don’t get the media attention. Not to mention the uptick in emergency landings for passengers with medical issues.
This may explain why unvaccinated pilots are becoming a sought-after commodity for the elite.

From 2021, shortly after mass vaccinations began, 4 BA pilots died suddenly in 1 week - Airline found ‘no link’ to vaccine.



This is horrifying. The most horrifying aspect of all of this is the large portion of the public that does not even want to know the truth.
Being unvaccinated my country of Canada won't let me on a commercial airline so the point is mute for me at present. I don't have any particular desire to fly anywhere at the present time as my wife is still getting over 3 arthritis related surgeries that fortunately coincided with the start of the Plandemic. If we were going to pick a time for her surgeries, we couldn't have been any luckier. Good time to stay close to home. Those of our relatives who chose to get jabbed, all have been sick or died in the past 3 years. My wife and I - zero illness. Staying home has its advantages. I think the supplements and vitamins helped too.
