Thinking About Flying?

Even before the Wuhan Flu, flying was a pain in the ass. It just made it worse.
I had a guy coming from Chicago for 5 days. He phoned this morning and said he wasn't going. After two cancel flts and no sign that he would get one todays he just cancelled.
Not just pilots, flight attendants, baggage handlers and counter personnel.
The airlines themselves released statements on the shortages due to the firings.
Has zero to due with Fox. You can put away your dead horse whip.
Yes like those selfish Jewish people in Europe who hid instead of politely going to the concentration camps?
Since when did swallowing everything governments are pushing become virtuous?
Was it during Pol Pot, Robert Mugabe or Justin Trudeau that convinced you government knows best?
I applaud workers who had the courage to lose their careers over voluntarily taking something they thought harmful. And the 'vaccines' don't even work, don't prevent the spread and actually makes it easier to contract covid after being jabbed.
Greater good my arse.
The good news is no more masks, no more day-before nose rapes.
But it has gotten too expensive to fly or drive.
People are only imagining the delays and cancellations, they are not real.
What's Causing Flight Delays And Cancellations?
Pilot Shortages Are The Primary Reason No mention here of vaccine denial problems as mentioned as the SOLE reason......................But keep trying to get that in anyway............Many delays and cancellations are because of an industry-wide pilot shortage. In addition, the legacy carriers and regional operators don’t have enough staff for various reasons.
As a result, airlines are combining routes or discontinuing services when necessary to offset staffing shortages. This move is similar to the height of the pandemic when carriers reduced to minimal service as travel demand plummeted.

And no farting on the plane. Just experienced this on a flight with an East Indian man who must have had some bad curry. Thank God it was only a two hour flight
Exactly, they are sticking with their principles by giving their employer the middle finger, walking out the back door and applying for their retirement benefits on their way out. The are really making a sacrifice. Forget about them.
There are plenty of up and coming pilots looking for those positions.
By not staffing correctly (across the board) the airlines are leaving money on the table because the demand to put an behind in a seat exceeds the seats that are available. The lost is theirs.
It is not a public right to fly.
It is a service you pay for.
If you don't like the flying conditions.
Don't fly.
Vote with your 💰
And no one can take away those voting rights. 🤪
The any problems can be resolved by the purchasing in duty free.
It makes all the trouble of flying worth it‼️

Not entirely true. As a former airline employee, I can tell you that one of the issues is when the pandemic started, and airlines weren't/barely flying instead of layoffs they offered early retirement which many took. It had nothing to do with vaccinations at that point. Also, many planes were "housed" for a long period of time. Bringing them back into service is not an overnight process. As for having plenty of "up and coming" pilots, not so correct. The pandemic pushed the timetable back for many "up and coming pilots". The airlines saw this ripple effect coming but unfortunately didn't have many solutions/answers to the situation.
@keepcoming The airlines should and could have seen it coming. They should and could have reacted better, faster, and in a more enlightened way, but they chose not to. No sympathy for them at all, either. They're their own worst enemies
People/staff SHOULD stand up for what they believe in. I'm all in favour of that. I'm also in favour of, to paraphrase Spike Lee, "doing the right thing!" which in this case was to get vaxxed to keep your job, to also help minimize the spread of Covid, and to not put coworkers and customers at needless risk. Those that disagree could and did what they felt they needed, but there is no need to make them out as heroes or martyrs for their, selfish IMNSHO, beliefs. The same applies to all those who found that they could not easily travel or go to concerts, etc... They are/were a small, teeny-tiny, minority, although very vocal, whose opinions in perspective against the vast majority who did comply mean little. Majority rules and all that.
