  1. The problem here is that in most Airshows, there is NO room for error.
    In addition to this, IF the pilots have been vaccinated, then these could be and probably are effecting their cognitive abilities to judge airspeed, altitude and removes the ability to judge the parameters of flight.
    The CAA is also addressing the fact that those who took the Covid-19 bio-weapon vaccine and who are now grounded due to health reasons related to the same may now have to be replaced with those who are ‘Neuro-Diverse’.
    That may not be a bad thing, as those who are ‘Neuro-Diverse / Aspergers’ are usually specialised and intellectually-enhanced in the Pilot and Flight Engineer professions, as these are the major interests in which they focus on.
    I used to fly with an Aspie, and nothing got overlooked in the cockpit, and regulations and procedures were strictly followed.
    I’d rather fly with a non-vaccinated Aspie as opposed to a fully-vaxxed politically-correct DEI type…!
