Pilots need to strike.

guess who won't be flying Southwest this summer?!?!?!

money before safety

...and they’ve just been grounded.

...with guns to their heads

Finally f’ing grounding it! Jfc!

Do they pepper the terrified passengers with Canadian jokes before takeoff?

Boeing has been,'cornered' by the US market.

Err on the side of caution until you've ID'd the issue. Just makes sense.

They can fly with ghost.

If the pilots are confident they know what they are doing with the new software then i am confident to fly with them.

Those pilots should fly the plane by themselves with no staff & passengers & then they can die by themselves.
