STOP FLYING - Pilot Says, The Lights Just Go Out!

Video Transcript:

pilots are basically what's called reverse malingerers. We don't actively try and get out of work, we actively try and go to work, one because we enjoy our careers, and two because it disrupts your whole work roster for the rest of the month. So it's important that the civil aviation authority do, again, hide behind the pilots' self-diagnosing. Now they can only self-diagnose if they're aware of something. And what we have been made aware of is that some of the adverse reactions are subclinical, i.e. you're not aware of them. And as happened with that captain that you just saw in the video, Captain Bob Snow of American Airlines, he had no idea that he was about to have a heart attack. And because there was nothing wrong with his cardiac plumbing, it was basically an electrical problem. And as he says in the video, the lights just went out. He was flying the airplane. He had that cardiac event six minutes after touchdown, had that happen seven minutes earlier. They would have been a hundred feet in the air doing close to 300 kilometers an hour. It could have been catastrophic. And that's what we're dealing with. The lights can go out on an active crew member at any time, and if that's two critical phases of flight, the Tatehokon landing, it's basically not going to be a very good result.
