When I first read this, I thought the government was delaying flights because the pilots weren’t diverse enough - there is a HUGE push to get more women and POCs to become airline pilots.
My daughter had a heck of a time getting out of Hawaii last week - flight after flight canceled. She said people were screaming in the terminal trying to get on any flight going out - her flight was to Los Angeles and people were desperately trying to get on her flight, one of the few that wasn’t canceled - just to get back to the mainland.
Family has a long-awaited trip to Hawaii soon - AirBNB is already paid for and we’re coming from four different areas. I’m worried that we all won’t be able to get there now without delays - or will be able to return easily
Wow....that is scary...not being able to get a flight out of HI.
We USED to travel there, quite often.
We haven’t, in years....due to being too busy....kids....covid...etc.
We’d thought about going, again, but...have decided flying ANYWHERE, right now, is NOT a good idea.
You are right...they’re now pushing for diversity, for their flight decks. United Airlines is one who has specifically said this.
No, thanks!
We’ll drive to any vacation we take.
