An objective analysis of commercial airline pilot deaths as reported in the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) magazine since 2019

Part Three

In part one it was shown that beginning in the year 2021, there was a 40% increase in the incidences of pilot deaths before normal retirement age. Part two discussed how the Covid-19 shot changes physiology and can result in early mortality. In part three I present recommended actions the FAA should take immediately to avoid a possible disaster. I write this having been not only a chiropractor, but a major airline pilot with 33 years of airline experience, 21 years as a captain.

The FAA is the watchdog for aviation safety. They can take a reactionary or preventive approach to safety concerns. They can react to a historical disaster by making changes to rules and regulations and/or aircraft to prevent a similar disaster from ever happening again. An example of a reactionary stance is the crash of the Delta L-1011 flight 191 on approach into the Dallas Fort Worth airport on August 2, 1985. It encountered windshear and was slammed into the ground a mile short of the runway resulting in 137 deaths. The FAA reacted by retraining all pilots to recognize and avoid windshear scenarios. It also mandated the installation of windshear detection equipment on aircraft and around certain major airports. Their actions were successful.

An example of a preventive approach was their mandate after the mandatory retirement age of pilots was raised from 60 to 65. They had data showing that many pilots die shortly after retirement. But it was unknown if these deaths were directly due to age related health issues, or if it may be something else like abrupt change of lifestyle or a feeling of worthlessness. So, they mandated that no two pilots over the age of 60 shall be in command of an aircraft at the same time until enough data was collected to see if there was a safety signal. This took seven years. There was no signal of safety of flight being compromised and the mandate was dropped.

The FAA already has preventive rules in place for aeromedical safety concerns. One of these is no pilot shall use medication that has been recently FDA approved until it has been used in the general public for a year. This is to see if any adverse reactions occur in the general population that could affect safety of flight for a pilot. Another is that any shot called a vaccine must be FDA approved.

What the FAA did in December of 2020, recommending this shot for all pilots literally two days after Emergency Use Authorization was given to the shots was wrong, and they need to admit that. The first mistake was the fact that the shot was not FDA approved. FDA approval did not occur until August of 2021 for the Pfizer product and January of 2022 for the Moderna product. The J&J shot never got full FDA approval due to admitted blood clotting issues. Even after these approval dates, the FDA approved products called Comirnaty and Spikevax were not and still are not available in the United States. So, all this time, flight crews have been injected with something that is not FDA approved. This is illegal.

The second mistake was the requirement to look for adverse reactions for a year in the general public that could result in aviation safety being compromised. This was totally ignored. The FAA needs to make a statement as to why these rules were not followed. Steve Dickson was the FAA administrator at the time and has subsequently resigned, so we might not hear from him. This position is a presidential appointment and has not yet been filled. Somebody needs to admit that mistakes were made.

We can surmise what the reasonings for ignoring the rules were, but it’s too late now. The vast majority of major airline pilots have been injected with an experimental product that we now know can cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events that can affect safety of flight. So, now the FAA is in the position of either taking a preventive approach to this, or a reactionary approach after a disaster.

My recommendation is to take the preventive approach by firstly prohibiting any further injections of flight crews. Next, all injected flight crew members must undergo complete cardiac screening. This must include d-dimer tests, troponin levels, PULS tests and cardiac MRIs. The EKG requirement for pilots is not good enough because it might not detect myocarditis issues or clotting issues. These tests are expensive, so the airlines that forced these shots on their employees should pay for the testing. Billionaire philanthropist Steve Kirsch has offered to pay for these tests for all pilots of the first airline to take his offer. As of this writing there are no takers.

Any pilot that shows abnormal results should be grounded with pay and put on a treatment regimen until they can get back into the cockpit. Some of these cardiovascular issues can be resolved. Unfortunately, if there has been significant damage to heart muscle, it is usually permanent.

It is hard to predict how many pilots may be grounded. This will affect scheduling and flight availability for the travelling public for sure, but we are trying to prevent an impending disaster of both pilots becoming incapacitated at the same time. Admittedly the scenario of both pilots being affected by an adverse event at the same time would be rare, but if you are a passenger on that flight, it’s not rare for you, it’s 100%.

Some of these cardiovascular issues can be resolved by simply changing the diet and undergoing some exercises to improve circulation. There are many products available that claim to improve circulation and eliminate clotting. One that I have investigated is called Cardio Miracle. You can read published research on the product here:  https://phcogres.com/article/2020/12/1/104103prpr7919

This product has been shown to increase the level of Nitric Oxide in the blood. Research shows that Nitric Oxide signals the muscles of the inner lining of blood vessels to relax, resulting in vasodilation and increased blood flow. There is also evidence that proper levels of Nitric Oxide can prevent adherence to blood vessel walls and can safely dissolve atherosclerosis. I have no financial interests in this product, I am merely suggesting one of many products for pilots that wish to become proactive on improving circulation before any mandatory testing starts.
