Who in their right mind would get on a plane right now? Aside from the covid risks, there’s also the horrendous way the airline industry has handled this situation from the beginning. Passengers are being treated terribly often at the whim of some low level employee on a power trip, they are also  are making unreasonable and illogical demands re covid travel . Must wear masks but they seat passengers right next to each other as if covid magically disappears and is non contagious once you’re on the plane, those masks are all you need supposedly. Then why the vaccines? It’s also quite obvious that of course due to covid restrictions the planes are not and have not  been maintained, tested , and inspected  normally. I shudder to think what will start happening once they start flyin all those planes that have been grounded since the start of this all. They will be falling out of the sky every 20 minutes. Do not get on a plane now. omg.

There are no covid risks.
The rest I don’t disagree with.
However, there are those needing to travel by plane.

Original Message Boeing said it recommended suspending the use of 777 jets with the same type of engine that shed debris over Denver at the weekend after US regulators announced extra inspections and Japan suspended their use while considering further action.

The moves involving Pratt & Whitney 4000 engines came after a United Airlines 777 landed safely at Denver International Airport on Saturday, US time, after its right engine failed.

The manufacturer recommended airlines suspend operations until US regulators identified the appropriate inspection protocol.

The 777-200s and 777-300s affected are older and less fuel efficient than newer models and most operators are phasing them out of their fleets.

they are hoping to invent new engines which have parts that don't explode and fall off
