I assume they’re missing the unvaxxed personnel with the holiday onslaught.

Nobody's "grappling" with anything.

The headline should have read: Democrat Media Scares United Into Cancelling Flights.

Dang. John McLane and Hans Gruber never meet and Hans ends up on a beach earning 20% instead of being defenestrated.

Just saw a Little Rock news break. According to the reporter, it’s also Delta cancelling flights. They said it appears to be a multi day event beginning on Christmas Eve

Fear the Omnicron! It’s even re-killing the previously killed! That’s just how tough it really is! It will raise your fat azz back from the dead just to kill you all over again! There are many Freepers getting even moar shots to defeat it! Some of them weigh under 300 lbs... Maybe. Moar shots are werk better!

After they are dead, we will take their guns and pickups and put them in our barns or whatever retarded crap they spew. I’m thinking about building a barn.

And the one I alluded to yesterday.

Mom and Dad to crying children: “Look, Santa didn’t get the vax jabs and didn’t have his proof card to show so you and other kids won’t be getting anything this year for Christmas.
Get over it.
And even with his pained expression the tight metal handcuffs on Santa’s plump wrists don’t hurt him as badly as he acts. He’ll be out on bail in a couple of days.

As I just said on another thread, all these companies and hospitals going into hysterics because they fired their very own employees is the absolute height of absurdity.

CNBC reporting United with 131 cancelled flights and Delta 80 cancelled flights. Delta is citing weather in Salt Lake City and Seattle, as well as Covid. Cancellations extend into Saturday, Christmas Day.

Messy travel for Christmas.

Dumb business move.

If you don't have the staffing, there is no viable alternative.
