Folks, have you heard this one? Delta Air Lines – the “gold standard” of corporate virtue-signaling – is offering $30,000 to every passenger on a flight that crash-landed in Toronto. That’s right—thirty grand! Why? Because their plane skidded down the runway in flames, flipped upside down like a pancake, and somehow, miraculously, everyone survived. Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m thrilled no one was seriously hurt—but let’s unpack this, shall we?
Seventy-six passengers, four crew members, and Delta’s handing out checks with no strings attached. That’s their official line. Sure, and I’ve got a bridge to sell you. This isn’t charity, folks. It’s damage control, plain and simple. Big corporations aren’t in the business of writing checks unless they’re protecting their own backside. And Delta’s Chief—Ed Bastian—he’s out there puffing up his chest, calling his crew “heroic” while reminding us that this is just business as usual. Safety is "embedded" into their system, he says. Well, thank goodness, Ed! Otherwise, what exactly are people paying those sky-high ticket prices for?
Now, let’s talk about the miracle itself. According to passengers, it was like a Hollywood disaster movie—hanging upside down “like bats.” Yet somehow, the crew and emergency responders got everyone out safely. Credit where it’s due—they did their jobs. But let’s not ignore the obvious: four major air incidents in North America in just three weeks. And while the “experts” are bending over backwards to tell us flying is still the safest way to travel, doesn’t it make you wonder? Are we supposed to just smile and trust the system while planes are falling out of the sky?
