they could refuse to fly to the fascist outpost and thereby put a little bit more pressure on them, but i guess no. it's all fine, they're just doing their job ferrying people to and from a genocidal entity.
Yeah but have you considered that they weep in sorrow and have minor migraines afterwards? Oh the pain and suffering these "hapless", "choiceless" white collar workers have to go through!
So people should just quit their jobs because the CEO of the Airline decided not to suspend flights to Israel?
yes
Are you actually this stupid or are you trying to win a world's most obtuse fuckinv knob competition
the person that replied to you already provided one of many examples that people in that position could do. The people that are oppressed, that don't have the luxury of having a permanent roof over their heads (any makeshift camps eventually gets destroyed with the people in it as well by the entity), that have their children stolen from them, whether metaphorically or literally, or become orphaned themselves, etc etc don't get to have a say in the matter.
To equate them to fucking flight attendants that are perfectly capable of taking even the most minimal of actions, which at worst case could get them a slap on the wrist, is absurd, disgusting and vile, lib.
So the choices are either lose your job or support Israel?
Yep. Support genocide or quit seems like an easy question to answer.
fuck off, a pilot can get another job
You're making false equivalences to give a moral shield to genocide so no actually i should be more rude to you
To compare trying to live and work as a trans person in a world that is hostile to people who are trans, to making the dangerous choice to fly to a genocidal apartheid state as an airline pilot in a world where pilots are highly compensated and in demand? Yes, it very much is.
the US government has a sovereign currency, you not paying taxes doesn't take money out of their coffers it just causes you problems.
not that it matters but i'm too poor to pay federal taxes
