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.

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.

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!!!

I'm sure the meeting was a waste of time but some common sense suggestions would be to roll back the vaccination requirement for pilots and crew members. Also - I believe there is a fairly new regulation that increased the flight-hour requirements before a pilot can be hired by a U.S. carrier. Unless you're coming from the Air Force or Navy pilot program, meeting the new minimum is costly and almost impossible for kids coming out of Purdue or Embry Riddle.

An interesting recent event happened to a friend who is pilot for an American airline (not AA): He tested positive for Covid even though he's vaxed and boosted. After a five day quarantine he was still positive but the airline called him to work and he flew to France the day after being called back. So - they can make exceptions when they want, it just has to be less public than bringing the unvaxxed back to work.

The government needs to pump several billion dollars into a few cronie's entrepreneurial projects like this YouTube video (of course, 10% off the top for the "Big Guy"):

“widespread flight disruptions, his own flight was canceled and he wound up driving from Washington to New York. “

A few day’s ago the New York area has WEATHER. Lot’s of flight crews could not get in, international flights were diverted to DC. Awesome, an Director of Transportation that is clueless what about WEATHER can do to flight operations.

“Forecast adverse weather has prompted significant flight disruptions at multiple airports in the New York metropolitan area as of June 16. Dozens of flight delays and cancellations have been reported at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in New York, New York, as well as Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in Newark, New Jersey.”
