American Airlines Travel Meltdown Over Halloween Weekend
ANOTHER labor shortage blamed on weather, burnout, or even the economy opening back up but we all know it is the MANDATES.
Vaccine mandates have “consequences.”
Enjoy 😘
If by ‘weather related’ you mean employees refusing the vaxx mandate then yea, it was ‘weather related’
I find it rather odd that only one carrier was affected by the ‘weather’
Maybe AA should upgrade their fleet to match the other carriers and their ‘weather proof’ airplanes.
Why does anyone even bother listening to the MSM anymore?
Here in the UAE we have almost no demand for flights. AA has demand but can’t deliver what a shame.
Funny how your name is AA and still complains about AA.
I meannnnn we are still in a pandemic. Expect delays during the holidays and even more so now with labor shortages. People are frustrated with the delays and cancelled flights. Not sure what they were expecting at a time like this.
Doug Parker, AA CEO. Salary disclosed by AA to be 10.66 Million in 2020. Say no more. What crooks. In a true market economy, this company would be out of business, but we will keep the corporate welfare coming.
54 Billion dollar bailout and this how they return the favor?
No more mandates.
Aaahh yes…. part of government plan! All at our expense!
Tropical storm BIDEN JAB……
Dallas is not the only hub American has. There is no way severe weather hit all 7 of them
“33% of its normal daily flights” there’s the symbolism there. This is all by design.
LETS GO BRANDON!!!!
Lying s**** of you know what…..ha ha ask Hiden
Wow why lie for
I’m not flying anywhere till next year this is happening way to consistently.
Only fools would take American Airlines
I’ll rather drive!! If it’s over the sea, take a vehicle ferry!!
Support the employees!!!! Let’s go Brandon!
Halloween is not a holiday!
Just because your state has good weather doesn’t mean other states has good weather.
Imagine something so “good” pilots are not showing up to work because of the man-date forcing flights to be canceled.
All these airlines need to be held accountable
No excuses….
Too much bs
So bad weather is a cause for cancelled flights, but where is the bad weather? Can’t fly to miami because of bad weather, even though the weather is great. Staffing shortages due to covid vaccine mandates is more likely, but the airlines don’t want to admit it. So why cover it up?
👴🏻🥔 Potato Joe…. 🐂💨 Let’s Go Brandon
Weather 🤣🤣🤣
2300 NYC firefighters called in sick because of high winds in texas. cnn
Hopefully they are all vaccinated. The other pandemic is the infrastructure, guess Manchin wants to just pass half of it to pocket the money
NO TO VACCINE MANDATES. STOP THE VACCINE DICTATORS
FJB!
I am stranded in Dallas due to AA issues. The agent claimed it’s Trumper pilots Anti-Vaxxers sickout. The airlines has paid for our motel (jammed with airline refugees) and food, but disappointing after starting in Europe many hours ago, and now more adventures to get home.
Pee pee did it!
Let’s Go Brandon 🇺🇸
It’s too windy for doctors, nurses, police, paramedics and firefighters to work as well. This is the biggest invisible hurricane I’ve EVER seen!….or not seen 🤔
Probably due to lack of employees or callouts
Society is crumbleing
I never fly. Wouldn’t even consider it.
Delay travel plans until it is a bit stable…
Pilots are not going to get the vaccine. You are grounded till they do. I don’t blame them. No forced vac mandate is lawful..
Better rent a car
Bet the AA vaccine mandate fly’s away!!. Weather had nothing to do with it…..if it were weather, why wasn’t all the other airlines effected?
It makes me yearn for the glory days of passenger train travel. Those days sadly are long, long gone. Ask a lot of people over the age of 75 and they will always happily reminisce about train travel to get to distant
It would be nice to have reliable train travel again like we did 70 years ago. I remember there used to be four different railroads that used to promise fast service between Chicago and Minneapolis. We get you there in 400 minutes or less.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a mass shooting in the airport soon.
too bad the airline went WOKE
This is what happens when you mandate vaccines for pilots.
I beta if Amazon created a new Airline People will jump on it.
Just Fly Delta simple!!!!! Stop being cheap
Let’s go Brandon!
Let’s Go, Brandon!!!!! So, I suppose the other plane carriers had a blocking shield that took off same day!! 🤡
Thank God the Republican party is doing everything it can in America to ignore climate change.
Some people get all the luck
. Amtrak.
Flying is a right everyone self entitled won’t drive or take a bus or train so entitled behavior is expected unless you fly to work stay away from pandemic skies.
American Airlines is the worst airline in the world.
Airlines Defend Your Pilots and the Constitution!!!!!! FJB LETS GO BRANDON 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It’s nothing new. It’s always like this closer it gets to the holidays. And to make things worst we are still in a pandemic.
No people who wants to work
Weather 😂😂 let’s go Brandon!!
THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT AT THE AIRPORT
Let’s go Brandon!!
American Airlines is too dependent upon DFW. Often there are unusually severe weather events in and around Dallas. Anytime DFW has a problem AA comes unglued. I know. I flew over 3 million miles on American in years past.
So much B’s and then thay charge high rates
Take it on the chin, ladies and gentlemen. When you buy the ticket, you sign the waiver. And if youre willing to fly at this point in history, have a hotel ready.
the lies are hilarious now.. media is finished
I didn’t know sunny was considered bad weather
Who cares
Cant wait for the holidays. Watching you all get run over by the struggle bus. A little winter weather should help that out. Have fun.
Stay home
Hahaha this is what happens when you want to move far away from your mom lol I would have just walked out got a job Amazon
Ahaha that’s what they get for mandating vaccines!! I hope the company goes bankrupt!! This is just the beginning
You would think these news companies would be embarrassed that everybody knows they are lying to them
If you travel during any holiday you’re off your rocker
We(the pilots) are going to continue to call out, so I would make other plans.
its not the weather its because of the jab.
Don’t complain….walk or take a bus! Learn to live with less.
Airports are garbage. I just drive wherever I wanna go
Go WOKE, Go Broke!!
Look at the stupidity: Standing 6ft apart during check-in, then sitting next to each other on planes. Wow, the FEAR instilled limits the common sense
Poor weather
Brings new meaning to the song ‘I’ll be home for Christmas.” Lol
What a great president making the world great for everyone. Not on the verge of collapse no just look over there while usa DIES. !!!!!!
Facetime families during the Holidays is the best bet. I went through this in June and there was no bad weather coming or going.
The weather has given up beating on Southwest and has moved on to American.
The weather is highly selective now due to global warming.
No doubt, it will lash at even more airlines in the coming weeks.
Some general advice: pay your employees livable wages?
All jokes aside, airline pilot Juan Browne on the Blancolirio channel explains all the things that may be involved with these delays.

Weather? Uh huh, yes that makes sense. I wonder if there are any other problems? Labor shortage? Oh my, better let those migrants through, eh? Wonder why there’s a labor shortage? It’s the weather, dummy. Go lock yourself in your house.
Save youre money dont fly
Hmmm. I was flying out of Austin that weekend on Delta. Zero issues! I’ve been on delta flights all during the pandemic and have had no issues whatsoever.
Good luck on Thanksgiving weekend,
A few dominos tip over and then no plane is where it is supposed to be for its next flight. Its just a hot mess and no easy way to line them all up again. So weather and call outs don’t take long to bring chaos. Stay home.
we will land in Japan! just like America and Japan land in Taiwan!
Wow, didn’t know mandates were considered weather
We are short staffed everywhere with jobs related to customer service.. period.. This is just a prelude to how people need to treat each other better.. the time of the entitled customers and rudeness just because is over , if you want people to help you then you need to be considerate.
These Karen’s and Darren’s were mad last year?? They haven’t seen nothing yet..enjoy the holidays 2021!! 👏👌
Democrats should take the bus since this is all Bidens fault
Whatttttttttt? They never realized on heavy-travel-holidays, extra staff might be needed because of something like, duhhhhhhh
W E A T H E R????????😲
Lol! Bad weather that targets one airline over another is just like a virus that targets one political party over another. We just don’t buy it anymore no matter what the news says.
Rent a car and go back. You have money for flight and trip but not renting a car. I wouldn’t put those flight attendants at risk if the weather isn’t great.
