Something Fucking HUGE and really scary going on with aviation. You can see for yourself.

Weird I recently had a similar dream recently except the crash was very close to home

Usually this

All I know is I’ve had the app for a couple years now and I’ve always had that notification set up. It was pretty rare for it to go off, and in the last couple months it has gone off so much that I’ve almost turned the notifications off, that’s how bad I’ve noticed its gotten. As far as actual numbers of what is normal or not you got me on that one. I’m just giving you my broad general observation.

5G was my thought too. Especially after reading some of the hazards and warnings for helicopters and aircraft.

Nibiru.

Is it possible that 5g is affecting aircraft ?
Even more so is it possible the rules for declaring an emergency have changed ?
Could some things often ignored now be being made an emergency hence bringing up the amount of emergencies ?

LOVIN U! SHOONUH OR LATTUH!

MIGHT AS WELL GET FUCKED UP. WORLD WILL CHANGE LONG B 4 MONDAY

You are a stinking liar, captain.

7700 is an emergency squalk freq, and 7600 for loss of comms, but not all that unusual. Almost always no resulting problem bit does grant priority handling and leeway for the captain to do anything he feels necessary.

Again, you are a stinking liar.

In my experience, take that for what it's worth, pilots are extremely level-headed, so no, I don't think there's been any change to what is considered an emergency. Something is truly happening to cause pilots to squawk.

Oh get out of here we saw an f18 turn on its name and location with the 7700 yesterday. It's real. F18s never turn on their name and location except emergency

Former Captain, so I claim no extra knowledge or authority on the subject these days.

GLP and people in general like nice
tidy answers, when in fact
life is rarely that simple.

Why can't all of the above answers be correct?

1. Poor Maintenance (Not enough skilled mechanics)
2. Covid Masks (Karens)
3. "JAB" causes sudden severe illness (heart attacks etc,.)
4. 5G is an aviation problem at over 500 US Airports
5. Magnetics of the earth changing
6. Young inexperienced pilots promoted to early (Covid)
7. Angry passengers (more crazies than ever)
8. ALL OF THE ABOVE & MORE

Yeah! We should all panic and dissolve into a blubbering mess every time some random person posts an unconfirmed doom thread on GLP! Get with the program!

I don’t know about doom just yet, but I did want to say something about it so maybe some of the more experienced people here could start keeping an eye on it and see if it really is something.

Breaking Bad!

It my dream it was close to my home. Roughly 1/4 mile from our house.

An emergency is declared, and then they have to land early?

I’m a bit cynical, so I’m not going to blindly believe you’re a former pilot. You may or may not be, I don’t believe it actually is of much consequence for this thread. That being said, you stated an observation, provided a source for self-confirming, and presented evidence of your own.

These are the type of threads we need more of on here. First 5* I’ve given in awhile. Nice job, nice find. Thank you for contributing.

Oh boy, I knew I should’ve kept my mouth shut. Here’s the shitstorm prediction from somebody who knows more than me.

I think the keywords here are “at the moment”. Based on my observations bad news travels in 90 days cycles, so April is when we should start seeing the fallout from this, if this is actually what it is.

You’re already seeing it manifest with the contractor operators at out station airports. You pull up, we have a quick turn, Then it’s, “Oh, so sorry, we have a manpower shortage. Nobody showed up.” You can’t offload or onload bags, you can’t get fuel on time, its usually just two ramp agents running simultaneous flights. And that’s with scheduled operations, good forbid you had to divert to a station that wasn’t expecting you. Then you have delays, and crews time out.

But like you said, it’s all just subjective, informal observations out on the line. I’m sure nobody In management wants to be the first one stepping forward to beat that fucking drum, especially when jobs are in short supply.

Duty for care and all that discovery stuff will probably happen down the road, yes, but in the meantime we’ll either have a soft collapse or hard collapse of the industry and it will be all moot at that point. Who’s going to be the injured party to be compensated, the government? They already own all the airlines defacto due to the bail out funds. Do You think their going to care about passenger care when the SCOTUS just had to beat back the mandatory OSHA mandate on an EUA shot?

I could go on and on but I’m off the opinion that were already Going through a soft collapse of the industry, and all the institutional corporate guardrails that were designed to foresee and prevent were all beaten down by the COVID emergency mandates that created a free for all legal environment. Nothing sacred anymore.

This is just a sales pitch for the app..nothing more

Could there be a change in how emergencies are being reported, what counts as an emergency, or how the app is doing notifications? These are all ways that could give the impression of an increase of emergencies, when there really aren't any.

Or, 5G.

That is one thing I did consider, perhaps the app is always continuously getting more access to more data from new countries, thereby showing an increase as these new countries come online in the app. I don’t think that’s the case, but even I definitely admit that’s a possibility.

I'd bet that is the majority of the emergencies.
People are loosing it.

Pilots are being beamed abroad the mothership midflight!

This is exactly what's happening. People are dropping like flies because their blood clots bust loose because of the pressure.

All good points friend. Time will tell as in all things. Lets hope the predicted soft

collapse (which I don't disagree with in general) is NOT severe or long lived.

I also agree that manpower is definitely an issue.

Think about it.

There are manufacturing shortages. Chip shortages. Parts shortages.

Aircraft need maintenance like everything else.

They've been cutting corners and jimmy-rigging fixes. But they only last for so long before they fail.


With shortages getting worse, expect a lot more mechanical failures ..... on the roads and in the air.

I'm in IT and I've never seen an influx of such idiocy and incompetence as I've seen with the Millennial generation entering the work force. Figure it out from there, and no thanks to downloading the nerdy airplane app.
