“they are booking to the max, or overbooking based on some kind of algorithm that tells them how many folks may not show up.”

That’s been in place for 40 to 50 years. Typically there is a 3-4% no show rate. If you have access to the boarding totals, you see this in real time every day.

If only coach seats on airplanes were as comfortable as those look.

I'm going to take a wild guess that Pierre does not own a personal vehicle of any kind. All of his wheels most likely come with a government provided chauffeur.

“Fathers Day/Juneteenth.
That’s pretty funny.”

Mommy who is my father? OR Mommy where is my father?

He’s living with one of his MANY other “baby mamas”.

I am sure there are just huge crowds clamoring to travel on “Juneteenth.”

Buttigieg told the wire service: “Beatings of the airlines will continue to be doubled each week until their performance improves.”

It’s the fuel. Nobody can afford to fill up a jet with JP4.

I think the entire executive board should have to hold all their meetings in coach seats and have them installed in their offices as well.

“Not enough pilots.”

That’s because pilots won’t get the Covid shot!

If each flight had 100 people that would be 1 million people who could not get to their destination.
This is June. What will it be for the July 4th holiday? or Labor day? or Thanksgiving and Christmas!!

Over ten thousand flights were canceled across the nation this weekend

RE: Not enough pilots....

I heard one plane had a nervous young man land the plane and he was not over Macho Grande.

HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
