So the airlines are really struggling. We talked about it here on chewing the fat before.

We know that KLM said that they're going to cut an additional 1000 jobs this year

because of government plans requiring all passengers and crew to pass the COVID-19 test.

They cut 5,000 jobs last year KLM alone. We know that the TSA is now mandating

that masks must be worn at the airports and bus terminals, any public transportation.

And of course, you have to take it down briefly to confirm your ID, but other than that,

you have to be wearing a mask. We know that American Airlines and Southwest both posted record losses

this past year. Their recovery will be directly linked to the decline in COVID-19 cases.

I don't even know if that matters now. They all are dying, literally dying, unless they get help

from the government. And we also got news yesterday of something else that's happening

with the airlines that is really kind of disturbing and doesn't make me feel good about flying.

And you have to hear what the issue is. Welcome to chewing the fat.

Okay, so apparently pilots are getting rusty and they're making errors in flight.

This does not make me feel good about flying. It does not make me feel good at all. I know we're

really struggling. I know we're having to document our paperwork when we're traveling and it's

becoming more and more difficult to travel, but when I hear that pilots are getting rusty and making

mistakes while flying, that doesn't make me feel good. It makes me think, you know, maybe I'll just

drive. How about that? I mean, we know there's plenty of countries that aren't going to accept

passengers and visitors from other countries right now due to COVID. Anyway, so international

travel is becoming more and more difficult. But travel here in the US is becoming more and more

difficult. Anyway, because we are having to prove that we've had COVID-19 tests and negative

tests to get into different states and we're going to be flying. They're not even accepting people
