Flight Cancellations And Staffing Shortages Leave Many Scrambling For Holidays
*LMAO 😂*
Do the “Tumpites” still believe the virus is a hoax and masks are a worthless?
Ok, I’m heading back home to Sacramento, ca from North Carolina. American Airlines on Dec 31st. Does anyone know if all still good and no new flight requirements
PROBABLY NEED A 6TH SHOT 1ST
Brandon an epic failure. Jackman a steroid rager
The smart employees called in sick and used The Rona as an excuse. Use the fear mongering against them and collect that sick pay.
EXACTLY! 💯👏
sick pay? do airlines give sick pay?
I still don’t understand why some toilet stalls have the toilet paper roll holders so low, you gotta really stoop down and look underneath to find the edge
Or the place the toilet paper holders on the side you lean to wipe. In small stalls it makes it rough, they should have stalls for right or left handed folks😂😂
With the mandate, it isn’t going to help this situation.
We are in a pandemic. They should of stayed home.
5 days without pay = homelessness il for to work and get people sick already missed 4weeks 2 months ago with covid not going threw all that again I will go to work if sick or not
Terrible situation sorry guys that you couldn’t enjoy your holiday
About the flights…. it was obvious to me…
no surprise that chaos did not stopped before and during Christmas !
Boo hoo hoo 😢
FUD. I’m buying the dip
Shortages due to vaccine mandates
Pilots having heart attacks in mid flight.
Who travels during a chaotic time ffs
Yeah, who gives a s*** about anyone’s health in the USA. That’s why the USA is number one for covid cases and deaths. Corporate America. And that’s why we keep slipping down to the bottom for healthcare. And they call this the greatest country in the world. That’s looking more laughable day by day. It’s more like a third world country.
🎃OMICRON ARMAGEDDON takes over the USA and Weekly Slave Labor Reports next 🎀🎈🎆
I don’t feel bad for these people. You had a chose and you chose stupidity. With the new variant going around orfcourse more people will get sick and that means flights being canceled.
🎃OMICRON ARMAGEDDON takes over the USA and 1000’s of International Travelers Stuck with Flight Shortages? All Dressed up with No Place to GO🎀🎈🎆🎖
Since the “LEFT” Want to push this “Omicron” Crap, if You get sick, don’t just miss 5 or7 days. Go the max take 2 or 3 weeks, WITH PAY. IMMEDIATELY CATCH IT AGAIN, (wink wink) for 3 more weeks off. Hit’em Hard.
I traveled across the USA on Christmas Day and had no issues. It was a very good travel day.
I already grabbed my popcorn. I love how the liberal left just destroy everything they touch. Mandated vaccine is surely working yet some how a cruise ship that is fully vaccinenated has an outbreak. Not enough nurses in hospitals to treat the sick, not enough teachers in schools, low number of cops patrolling the streets. All that is left of order is about to be lost. Yet our government pushes this so called vaccine that clearly doesn’t work. Step up people and stop being the sheep.
The main concern for that is that The ball drop The still going to do it
They fired there health care workers
“You WILL go out there.”
“I won’t, and nothing you say will make me.”
“The show must go on.”
they are cutting the isolation for health care workers? because of the stupid people that don’t want to get vaccinated and end up in the emergency room. I don’t think so. Let the healthcare workers rest, they deserve it. and for the unvaccinated, well take the consequences of your stupidity
Alot of people arwnt there because they quit their jobs because of being forced to vaccinate.
why would anyone way until the last minute on a holiday to travel??? year after year?? wow don’t they ever learn???
Businesses playing politics around the holidays… pushing back on testing and mask mandates… Nothing to do with covid.
Here is a very important report on our planet & the sun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihwoIlxHI3Q
I NEVER Travel for the Holidays For This Reason. Yet Many People Are Really Asking For it, literally bad.
They deserve the worst the airports have to offer.
Stop worrying about covid, just keep going as normal
Lolz
wtf!!?? they wasn’t even canceling flights when covid19 first hit!!! but why would so many people fly on xmas anyway??
Cuz flight tickets are cheap on xmas
LoL 🤣. Having fun spending your Christmas weekend at the airport……
the media will never report on the media contributing to this. we need another branch to overwatch the media
Ridiculous Why not just flip a coin to determine how long to quarantine? Do these people or administration have any clue what they are doing?
S#it country ….I am lucky I do not live in USA
Good the idiots should stay home!!
*investing in different streams of income in other not to depend on the government for funds and avoid all the chitchat about the shortage bla bla bla*
Stop fear mongering with case numbers, tell us about deaths and ventilators.
☝️you guys are my savior thanks so much for the PayPal transfer of 10,000 added to my account today
I was a Regional Airline Pilot.. not a Major… I quite the Industry Last month due to pay and benifits.
Very wobbly and with a major hangover I read the title as, “Flight cancellations and stuffing shortages leave many scrambling …….”
People need to stay away from the airport.
Stay off of trains.
STAY HOME !!!
People what did you expect. 😁
You vote Democrat, this is what you get.
Exactly. Staffing shortages.
TOTAL BS
@mike fobear You got it so bad. TDS. They got you right where they want you. I do not comply…at all.
🚀Fly the Unfriendly Sky’s as OMICRON ARMAGEDDON takes/ over the USA and Causes 1000’s of International Travelers Stuck with Flight Shortages🎀🎈🎆
Why would you travel on a holiday while we are still in the middle of a pandemic? Way too much risk on every level.
Going to Broadway is just one more way of getting infected. Think it over.
With the dancing white house nurses no wonder.. Jesus no masks were worn it was shameful..
I agree it’s like lighting a candle twice and your home set ablaze.
Or a barber with a 💅 aspiration for a working boi.
Boi..
With bedrock comment I assume it is a Flintstone away for off broad way hey production maybe they will smoke some weed and dress like a back. Door Donkey and do a shreck of Arabia with good Vento ☕ or jo as i recall it once was..
However when your cheese slips off the cracker you just slam dunk it for a Allie oops sea daisy.
NEWS TODAY,,,
Thanks Sleepy Joe Biden
So did the staff and crew get covid from the passengers? I guess flying isn’t as safe as they want to make us think.
BS
👑💉=💋☠⏰💣Just doing my job, won’t save your heads. Nuremberg 2.0👍💎💘
Mandate deez nuts 🤣
It’s the unconstitutional mandates is what’s causing this.
Let’s go Brandon
#FJB
So the length of your isolation depends on your job title? Yeah that’s totally following the science……
More Vaccine mandates coming back to bite the Democrats. Let’s go Brandon!!!!!!
Haha well I worked at a grocery store and I’m out for good. I thought self esteem was in plentiful supply. But we’ll I was wrong.
I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW MANY SILLY DUMB PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING TO RISK TO TRAVEL WHEN THEY’RE GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME CRAP ABOUT IT !!! MASKS SHOT PASSIS AN RULS 😂😂😂😂😂 WE ALL JUST DON’T LEARN DON’T WE !!!!!! 🤣🤣😂😂
THE GOVERNMENT HAS YOU ALL WELL TRAINED 😂 !!!!!!!! AND WHAT YOU HEAR AND WHAT YOU SEE !!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Re: D.J. Trump. You must love, obey and praise him. Never question his words or actions. Do not believe what you see or hear. D.J. Trump will be your guide.
It’s obvious that South Asians in America are getting the spotlight right now on television.
Lots of virtue signalling here
They are pushing vaccines for profit and stirring up bs before the holidays to get gullible people to go and keep getting their vaccines and more and more and more and more…its all bs
i guess the wolverine money wasnt good enough to keep huey off broadway
It’s only logical. When we let go of good workers who did not want to or shouldn’t take part in this experiment, you then have all the Covid positive,but with shots, employees left to cover all the gaps. It logical🤔
More mandates, you fother muckers
Why act surprised?
This goddam virus is not going anywhere even after masks and social distancing and vaccines
When has it ever been easy to fly. Maybe the early 70 s .
If the planes were grounded at the start of this pandemic we have way less problems now .what’s with this obsession to travel ?
Fully vaxd staff and they are ill. That’s interestingly upsetting.
Pandemic of the vaccinated
People need to stop this madness and live their lives normally again
These are Vaccinated staff of airlines, hospitals and other essential workers getting Covid and big shortages exist as they terminate the vaccine free staff. I thought vaccines will make the people free from Covid. That’s why we isolate the unvaccinated and lock them up. Now the vax group is the spreader of it. Trust the vax.

“Build Back Better” = Train Wreck 💥🚂
I don’t like living in a country we’re people joke around about new varrents when clearly they don’t care about us when they support the virus to continue it’s disturbing to have people joke around about these new varrents in this new year coming in 2022 sometime I really want this to be done it’s controlling our lives and no more varrents sorry. from moving on in life this whole virus and pandemic is preventing peoples life long term goals.
A Fauci, who has headed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984, has played a major role in promoting and funding *gain-of-function* research, both in the US and China. Newsweek reported: “He argued that the research was *worth the risk* it entailed because it enables scientists to make preparations [ ] that could be useful if and when a pandemic occurred.”
Omicron ???. On Dec 20 United put over 2000 flight attendants and pilots including 331 pilots on unpaid leave or fire due to mandated covid-19 vaccine….similar to Delta.. that is one main reason to cancel flights… to be true..
…work, a systematic form of slavery, pointless, and only designed to make people chase the man made things that aren’t needed, so that a selective group can sit around like *KINGS* did and do nothing, soon this system will be no more!

You voted for Mister Magoo. Now you’re living with the consequences of a Biden Administration. I have ZERO sympathy for any of you soccer moms.
Wait till gas is $6 in 2022.
This country hasn’t seen half the disaster this Delaware hillbilly can produce.
Worker vaccine mandate😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Let’s go Brandon
Why even travel while this virus is going on?
“Let’s FIRE a quarter of our workers for not following our vax orders and then complain that Omicron is the problem! Yeah, THAT’S the ticke!” – Stupid airlines
Why users left Facebook and INS! Because there are too many rubbish accounts and too many rubbish messages! do u like rubbish around u?
Will it bankrupt the airlines?
We need a shortage of politicians
The USA, where you used to be able to own people but now suddenly wearing a mask is having your freedom taken away. H.Franklin
US parents protest at school meetings about? A: 185 school shootings in 10 years B: Masks.
Social media and mainstream broadcasts showing American pandemic mismanagement is BORING. Land of the free my butt.
The news SHOULD BE New Zealanders have ONLY 50 deaths NOT Americans having a WHOPPING 838,234 !
You guys knew this was gonna happen, the cancellations…………….you folks know flying will never be the same anymore……………you choose to fly you choose the high likelihood of delays
