  1. These guys are my heroes, every time I see a pilot I give them so much respect. By the way, didn’t the government bail out the airlines, shouldn’t these professionals be getting a break?… 🤔

  2. How many pilots lost due to mandates?

  3. Airport. America. Pilots.stand together.

  4. I thought this was the clip with the gun waived at her head, guess not. jajajajajajja 😉

  5. theyre still employed but homeless now because they cant afford living costs so when theyre not sleeping in their cars or eating fastfood and taking sink baths in the bathroom theyre walking in circles carrying sign saying HEP ME just like any other homeless person would

  6. way to go pilots , let them walk

  7. Only happens in democrats states.

  8. REGULATE THE AIRLINES. Return to the common sense regulations that were the norm prior to the REAGAN ERA of rampant de-regulation that led to MASSIVE CORPORATE OVER'REACH on fares, dangerously long work shifts and the disappearance of pension plans and benefits that generations of Americans had struggled to establish. Pilots bear our lives in their hands daily. The least we can do is insist that airlines be regulated in accordance with the pre-1981 standards of the industry with regard to pilot and crew shifts, turn-around times, healthcare coverage, paid leave, etc

  9. Just already bring out the electric passenger jet with an AI pilot. Problem solved.

  10. Firing pilots and staff for not obeying tyrant covid laws have really taken its toll. Democrat led shutdowns and panic have done some serious..long term damage to America

  11. The real elite ….. not the self proclaimed elite

  12. Hello pilots, allow me to introduce A I technology, to you. Soon no pilot will be needed to flying airplanes.

  13. Why is it in the airline industry there's always a group on strike

  14. …the price of a ticket has gone from 400 to 1600 RT..then they decide to “disrupt” the flights on EVERY holiday. The fight is between their management….I feel for them but to affect passengers who are paying the price isn’t fair!

  15. WILSON PICKETT

    🇺🇸🇺🇸 TRUMP20TOLIFE 🇺🇲🇺🇲

    MAKE AMERICA PROUD AGAIN

  16. Bring back Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), if we had these corporations held accountable to a standard they wouldn't keep cutting corners for a margin!

  17. The Atlanta airport is a dumpster and 99% of the airport staff should be working at McDonald’s or picking up peoples trash

  18. ❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine warmthhh.Online Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wennu ich 4 wählen würde

  19. So the pilots want to raise the cost of flying – got it.

  20. WHOA!! Two Asian American women doing a segment on American TV news.
    Puts the lie to the US being a "white" country!

  21. So basically airlines will be telling us there will be “weather delays”
