Yeah, great logic. Gigantic, sky-crossing grids only cause ice crystals on hot, sunny days. Windy days, never, but clear, hot days sure.
How the hell can anyone tell what altitude? You can't, I can't...perhaps a surveyor could.... they appear lower than the air traffic passes at altitude.

Not sure if I buy the ice crystal theory. I mean to a certain extent ok. But gravitys a bitch Ice is most certainly heavier than vapor, seems some days they hang out longer than others.

Not sure how many other ways I can agree with you.
What I saw cannot be contrails.

Let me regurgitate my take on your logic.
Jets leave contrails, therefore everything I've seen must be a contrail.

Nice dodge, but I was asking for your logic.
I have already said mine - its extremely cold up there, jets have water in the exhaust, its condenses and in certain conditions it turns to cirrus.

You have several premises, that stem from chemmie websites.
There is no such thing as a "grid" when it comes to contrails. You will have contrails going N/S, and E/W, and diagonal to. The wind affects them all. OR, are you willing to step up and say there is no wind up high, and that trails are not being blown to the side? I bet you will either not answer, or be vague about it. CHemmies loves to assert grids but seem to get really quiet when it comes to wind.
Jets leaving contrails is not a premise, any more than water being made from hydrogen and water is a premise.
But for arguments sake...Tell us all which of these you disagree with.
1. That it is very cold at fligtht altitudes of jet aircraft.
2. That jets leave water as byproduct of combustio
3 Water can freeze and turn into cirrus ice crystals at those temps.
Tell us EXACTLY what you disagree with. No vagueness or talk of premises. And if you are going to assert that its much worse than 10 years ago, then I want proof. And if some chemmies here say its much worse than 5-10 years ago, why did the first chemtrail sites come out about 12 years ago? Were they psychic?

As a professional pilot, I have not seen a change in contrails. And i would guess that you did not either, you just read a chemtrail website that told you so, and then you looked up and noticed something that you had not cared about before. Everything that chemmies promote as a "grid" completely falls to me as how aircraft are going all around the country.
How would you change how aircraft navigate in order to not leave such "grids"?
Here are a few tidbits. The skys are no different than 10 years ago to any major degree. The regional airlines use more jet aircraft than turboprops which would result in more contrails, but everything else is the same. Have you ever looked at an aircraft navigation chart for jets?
And the people who began promoting chemtrails, more than 10 years ago, all had things to sell. Whether it was Will Thomas, Len Horowitz, or Don Croft, all of them had designs to make money from it with things to sell. Why does that not raise anyone suspicions?
And why is it not suspicious when chemtrail promoters make entirely false claims regarding science, aircraft, weather? Chemmies lap it up without thinking, and then accuse everyone else who believes differently, as being government agents, shills, etc.
