Captain Alan Dana: Impacts of experimental injections on air travel
On Monday 7 November, Captain Alan Dana gave an eye-opening presentation at General Assembly 64 in which he described his direct experience as a pilot during the introduction of experimental Covid-19 injections.
Who is Captain Alan Dana?
Captain Dana is a very experienced pilot who has always taken care of his health. He holds British, American and Australian professional airline licenses, including appointment as FAA Accident Prevention Councillor. Its total experience is more than 35 years and now exceeds 23,000 flight hours.
When his employer Qantas insisted on getting a new Covid-19 injection, Alan refused. Qantas released him. Now, along with other crew members, he is suing them in court.
Alan Dana is a member of the Global Aviation Advocacy (GAA) Coalition, which brings together passengers, flight personnel and multidisciplinary medical and scientific experts. The GAA coalition arose out of the need to hear the most important voices in aviation, including: air passengers, without whom there would be no air travel industry; aviation sector personnel who enable and embody flight safety and who are responsible for the well-being and lives of air passengers in real time; doctors and scientists involved in a transparent scientific debate about Covid-19 and the resulting policies that have impacted the global economy, travel and the lives of citizens at all levels.
If you happen to know of pilots who are experiencing adverse reactions to the vaccine that may impact air passenger safety, please report them in confidence to the Australian Transport Safety Authority (ATSB).
