Travel Will Be Restricted to the Compliant | Greg Hill and Matt Sattler, Free to Fly Canada Pilots

Matt Sattler returns with cofounder, Greg Hill, representing Free to Fly Canada (f2f) a non-profit which allows aviation professionals and passengers to speak out against vaccine mandates. Greg and Matt are both Canadian airline pilots with a combined impeccable flying record of over 23,000 flying hours. Each of their careers took an unexpected turn when, they like many, were subjected to employer-mandated vaccination policies, essentially penalized for refusing to comply.

On the Known Traveler Digital Identity initiative…

The Known Traveler Digital Identity is an initiative of the World Economic Forum (WEF) to essentially create a global vaxxport with a singular objective, to track everyone's personal information globally. This is their plan, which rolled out in 2019. They put out a white paper in 2020 that I encourage those who can bear with the entire document to at least leaf through it because there's some key parts of it that are very concerning…it's one of these things hidden in plain sight. We talked about The Great Reset and people scoff [but] it's not a conspiracy, it's right there. And it says right in the document, it's the foundation for a globally accepted, decentralized identity ecosystem.

On the impact of mandatory vaccines on the aviation industry…

The statistics in the nation are over 10%, but that alone is 1500 employees. That's a good sizeable chunk. And if you translate that across the aviation professionals nationally, it would certainly be in the thousands. But for some reason it's not newsworthy because it doesn't trend. We've got the CEOs saying, “Listen, government, these mandates need to be rolled back because they're being rolled back everywhere else. You can go to a bar; you can go to large public events. The same thing needs to happen with travel.” Then a number of weeks later, they terminated their employees.

On the recent decisions of WestJet and Air Canada…

These termination notices have gone out to some of our biggest in the nation, take Air Canada, for instance, who was the first one to come out with it and the bulk of the employees were already on unpaid leave. WestJet layoffs a while back which didn't affect their status in terms of what was hitting their bank account, but in terms of their long-term employment prospects. The company came out, about a month ago [with] termination notices to everybody that was on unpaid leave based on their vaccination status. So typically, news with let's say Air Canada, it trends very well in the legacy media in part, because people seem to dislike Air Canada but the legacy media just isn't interested in touching it at all. And then shortly thereafter WestJet did the same thing. Now some of their employees had been terminated back in the fall and have been out of work as well as, without any long-term employment prospects.
