Career pilot here. Transport category aircraft are filthy.
I know the the pressurization systems well.
Airflow in the cabin is a cost factor. More airflow = more fuel costs.
Many systems have an "econ" setting used as standard procedure to save fuel. [Cabin altitude higher/outflow valves cranked down. Limiting CFM through
the pressurized areas]
Filters that remove virus? Never encountered a system that did that.
I retired 12 years ago, perhaps the airlines voluntary decided to add/maintain a costly system since then. Anyone know for sure?

Misinformation? Now comments from two of the most influential airline CEOs in the world at a Senate hearing are misinformation??
Smh at how this term has been created by the MSM to baffle so many.
[Edited on 12-17-2021 by JZ] |
Countless CEOs have been revealed to be liars. These airline guys are just a few more liars in a long history of fibbing CEOs.
Woke!

Yeah, they are gonna lie to congress while testifying under oath.
Or, more likely they have been provided a stack of scientific evidences thicker than a Bible.
The MSM lies to you every single day. Some of them are very big lies.

Thicker than a bible? Jeepers, that's a hard hitting analogy. Clearly any documents
Approaching that thickness must be factual.

??? The US isn't the center of the world. And that Southwest CEO just tested positive for Covid, so he obviously hasn't been conducting himself very
intelligently.
Gonna get your moderator buddy to remove this post, like all my other posts that disappeared?

Covid on ice?

While I agree that this thread has gone downhill a few times, I don't recall ice, or tire pressure being mentioned as a cause of, or treatment for
Covid 19!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

So based on your words, anyone who has gotten Covid is not "very intelligent."
That's rich. And tremendously insulting to the 5 million ppl who have died.

After 2 years of living with this maybe it's time to look at the countries and states that are presently managing far better and try to understand
what they are doing right. Sweden has had an amazingly low case fatality rate and continually shrinking for 6 months now, while the rest of Europe
despite further lockdowns is surging in fatalities again. Some of the US states also have swung from very high case fatalities to much lower case
fatalities, despite the latest surges in cases. What is it they are doing that others aren't? I think the answer lies in early therapeutic treatment
among both fully vaccinated and non-vaccinated people that contract the virus.

In BC and BCS, the one thing I would definitely have in advance of you or your family contracting Covid is either Medical grade Oxygen or an Oxygen
Concentrator. 3 of our family members with significant underlying risk factors have recovered from Covid and had an Oxygen Concentrator on hand to
support them as they recovered. They tell me Medical Oxygen was very hard to come by, let alone any chemical treatments or hospital support.
Secondly, if the treatment pills presently awaiting approval from Pfizer become available, I would definitely grab some of them when they are
available. Breakthroughs among fully vaccinated people are becoming more and more common.
Here is the quote from Pfizer's pill study just released on the 14th:
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Pfizer said Tuesday that its experimental pill to treat COVID-19 appears effective against the omicron variant.
The company also said full results of its 2,250-person study confirmed the pill's promising early results against the virus: The drug reduced combined
hospitalizations and deaths by about 89% among high-risk adults when taken shortly after initial COVID-19 symptoms."

No, you drew faulty conclusions.
He has been defending not requiring masks. It's not the least bit insulting to the over 5 million who have died to call out the anti-maskers who then
get Covid.
And a lot of those 5 million died needlessly because they refused to wear masks or get vaccinated. I have little sympathy for those.

Nice spin. You sure as heck did throw major shade on a lot of ppl who have died. That's very tolerant of you.
BTW, he's not anti-mask, he just says the science says they aren't needed on planes.

It's been over a year since the last election produced a newly responsible gov't, and a whole lot has changed in the meantime. The most concerning
change is indicated at the Cornell University outbreak. Past solutions are no longer working out very well, time to look for new solutions .

"Ninety-seven percent of the campus is fully vaccinated, a large portion of them have booster shots and there's mandatory masking, and we still have
this uptick,"

In today’s news:
“Full vaccination against COVID-19 and a breakthrough infection builds 'super immunity,' study finds”
I think it is feasible we will see a future covid variant that will have high spread rate and high mortality rate; most of the vaccinated will
survive, and majority of un-vaccinated will die.
Diseases evolve, the strongest survive. I suspect it is foolish to be un-vaccinated in a world where disease evolves with the seasons…
Some people like to ignore covid, and shrug and say “what, me worry?” Reminds me of people that try meth as a recreational drug, thinking “oh,
I won’t get addicted.” Famous last words.

I'm reminded of another movie, "The Thing" remake with Kurt Russell.
This virus may not stop until every human is infected.

John : I find myself mainly in agreement with those posts. This latest variant has the appearance of one that will rapidly spread globally, and have
far milder outcomes and fewer fatalities. It may actually be our best shot at achieving herd immunity at lowered fatality rates and we will not have
been the cause other than spreading out the number of variations until a milder more rapidly transmitting one was finally produced.
