I presume 'Washington to New York' means Washington DC to New York, NY. Too bad he didn't know about Amtrak. He would even be able to take his bicycle on board.

The Biden administration imposed vax mandates that forced the airlines to fire thousands of skilled mechanics, pilots, etc etc.

Gosh, I wonder what the result of that policy turned out to be.

Nothing but threats, threats, threats, and more threats against businesses and industries. That really encourages investment and hiring.

I hate these Dem idiots.

All is good until he was inconvenienced. I’ll bet he has a government paid credit card for gas.

The important thing is that the pilots were mandated to get their vaccines against the sniffles....

:-(

I have a crazy thought, perhaps it’s not so crazy considering the Democrats are in power and their election prospects for November look bleak at best.

Buttigeig stating the government may act against the airlines for all the cancellations.

Biden basically ordering the oil companies to pump more oil even though his administration openly talks about killing off the oil industry.

My idea is Democrats will start calling for the nationalization of the Airline and Oil industries, using the capitalism has failed idea along with price gouging by the oil companies.

Not saying it will work or the Democrats will work toward it, but nationalization is going to be on the agenda by fall, if things don’t start looking up for the Democrats.

” what can be done and how to make sure that the airlines are delivering,”

Last I heard the airlines weren’t owned by the gov’t.
He’ll have to magically find more pilots to fly the planes so they don’t have to cancel flights.
He’s such an idiot.

What Buttboi means is the government sues the airlines “on behalf of the consumers” and the government gets to keep the money.

I definitely think the Democrats will attempt to nationalize some industries. We’re going Venezuela.

The cool thing about changing rules on airlines is that it drives up the price to travel, while hiding the rut cause of it (more government regulation). Therefore you get the benefit of a carbon tax to lessen air travel, but it gets blamed on the airlines!!!
