The incompetence and deliberate mismanagement knows no bounds with these fidiots.

Oh wow, I missed all that. Did see the end.

That’s great just get points and miles to fly. How do the people in my family get more days off to use them. Family trips are planned for months. We don’t work for the government like Pete and get more holidays because a flight was canceled. The hotel isn’t giving us our money back because we don’t show up. How disconnected from real people.

I suspect it’s also the high price of fuel. To swing a flight and make money on it, the airlines are trying to make sure the planes are full so they can afford the flights. So if a plane is only partially full, the flight gets cancelled.

Then, of course, combine that with the pilot shortage due to any experimental shot requirements.

But they’re in the education system, so they have people dumb and idealistic enough to try it again.

I won’t be flying ever, since they talk of diversifying the number of pilots, which means lowering standards to attract candidates.

My husband and I both had family emergencies this week. Otherwise, I would never, ever choose to travel now . It’s a mess in the airports and on the roads. Stay home if you can.

...but you would hope living through this might get some people to wake up.

Well, living through the Jimmy Carter regime and gas lines taught a lot of people to stop trusting democrats. This is Jimmy Carter redux and should accomplish the same thing again for America.

Where did all the pilots go?

Did the mandatory jabs have something to do with it?

I wish I weren’t needing to fly in 2 weeks. I’m already expecting my flight will be cancelled or delayed.
