EDIT... EARTH SPINNING ABOUT 1000 MPH... STILL SAME PROBLEMS JUST NOT AS BAD

And then it adds 500 to 600 mph at that altitude? So with the rotation of the earth its going 2200 mph then adds 600 mph approximately and maintains that speed to go faster then the earth which is 30k feet below it is on a much larger sphere at 30k up? So jets at 30k are actually going 2800 mph to go faster then the spinning earth and when they go opposite direction of the spin? What is going on with that?

Let’s put this in simple terms. Nevermind I have actually flown around the world at least 30 times in each direction and pole to pole. Could you imagine the havoc a static atmosphere would cause on the surface of our planet? at 2200 mph (your numbers) it would obliterate the surface and turn it into one smooth round ball. It might have been that way a long long time ago, but the drag would have eventually coerced the atmosphere to come along, remember space offers no resistance so the atmosphere would have no reason to not follow the earths rotation. So, here we are.
