Everything the pilot said was, seemingly 100% accurate.

The CDC is requiring me to say this.
The CDC's recommendations have gone back and forth.
The CDC is currently requiring you to wear masks.

If stating 3 factual things makes you freak out, then you're the freak.

Edit: and, apparently, the guy realized he was being an idiot and deleted everything.

He should add "there are only two genders" to his spiel to make it four facts.

They really have a cult-like attachment to their 'masks', to the point where someone who merely remarks that CDC guidance has changed, is "questioning the CDC" (which is apparently a horrible crime). "Disgusting". Needs firing. "Maniac." "Gross." "Active threat to the safety of the passengers and crew".

Note at the bottom, by the way, that this guy has repeatedly called the CDC into question on other matters.

By the way, the moron realized that he should not be showing his meltdowns for all the world to see, so he deleted his tweets before anyone could archive them. Unfortunately for him, archive.org automatically archives tweets by prominent accounts, and that is where I was able to find them.

It's a highly-visible sign of your compliance with the regime. Of course they're attached to them, it's their shibboleth.

They're following the same tribal / religious politics as The Taliban.

Must wear burkas / face coverings.
Pushing people out of jobs based on their gender.
Public humiliation for committing "crimes".

That's why that woman in canada called them brothers, it's the same playbook. The pilot might as well have said "Roght now they're requiring you to pray to muhammed, they keep going back and forth about it" and they respond with the exact same aggression and hysteria.

Love the snark about the pilot "rejecting science" and learning to fly a plane by "doing his own research". So it worked then, because he is clearly a pilot who can fly a plane. They really can't think for themselves, even for a second.

the process of learning to fly is LITERALLY the pilot doing his own research. these social media shitlibs got their degrees in inward buttsniffing.

The mask cult is frightening. I have been not wearing a mask on the basis of myself having a beard, so no seal means no prevention AND based on the size of aerosol particles being so small, they can easily get through gaps in a mask. The only counter-argument I have received in the wild has been "Its the rules" or some variation there-in.

"You will bring the great demon Covid down upon us!" the street preacher mask nanny screams "Repent! Mask up! Repent! Mask up!"

"Open your heart to our lord and saviour Fauci! Follow the science!"

When you get on a plane you can get kicked off for your two-year-old messing with their mask, but once a drink or food is in front of you moving your mask away to eat or drink is just fine. They are a microcosm of why these policies are fucking nuts, and it's no wonder some involved with them would come to the same conclusion.

The first thing I look at is the nose.

I love Jewish people and am not an anti-Semite. But when I hear horrible oppressive racists ignorant things coming out of someone's mouth, it is more often than not a big nose person.

I could make a list, but unfortunately it WOULD make me look anti-Semitic. But that is not my intention.

Just look at the nose. That's all one needs.

Those "science believers" are awfully reminiscent of every other religious cult out there.

Faggot, folk rock-y, indie band, yes. They’ve got a niche but anyone familiar with them would have predicted this kind of mindset imo.

Yep, when they were getting sort of popular they were touring near my town so I pirate-bayed a couple of their songs - I noped the fuck out after half of one song.

"If he doesn't believe in science, how does he fly the plane."

Motherfucker, someone could believe the wings work by making sky pixies angry and fly the plane just as well.

I know a lot aviation people from some things I'm involved in, including quite a few pilots. Albeit only a few of them work for airlines. In general it's a very not woke field. I've been a bit surprised the airline pilots haven't managed to get some wins from their unions over all this BS. I know they don't want to risk being out of work, but it also takes years to get the qualified to fly for an airline, and just before Covid there was a shortage of pilots. They are in a position of strength, except I bet their union bosses are paid off cucks.

Soy douche: "I'm better than the pilot because I blindly accept science!"

Pilot: "lol.. I can actually fly a plane, what is your skill again? singing pop songs and giving lectures?"
