Incompetent Diversity-Hire Gay Mayor Pete Can't Do a Thing About Another Weekend of a Thousand-Plus Flight Cancellations, Nor the Ongoing Pilot Shortage
Oh, he can't do anything to address the problem, but he can go beyond his actual powers to compel private businesses to issue refunds. So he can play Tyrant to impose a Band-Aid solution, huh?
Flight attendant union rep says US air travel is suffering a 'breakdown' and the 'job is not sustainable' for overstretched staff - as American travelers are hit by another weekend of travel chaos with more than 1,000 cancelations More than 1,000 flights within, into or out of the United States were canceled or delayed over the weekend as America's summer of travel chaos continued As many as 912 flights were canceled as of 8 p.m. Sunday and thousands delayed
US flight attendant Allie Malis, who is also a government affairs representative, says the unpredictable schedules caused by cancellations and delays is tough This weekend's mayhem comes as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has proposed expanding the circumstances in which travelers can claim refunds
Cancellations due to storms are to be expected -- but this keeps happening.
US air travel is suffering a 'breakdown' and the 'job is not sustainable' for overstretched staff, a flight attendant union rep warns as American travelers are hit by another weekend of travel chaos with more than 1,000 cancelations. America's airport nightmares continued on Friday as thunderstorms on the East Coast halted thousands of planes. According to FlightAware, which tracks the status of flights around the world, 1,142 flights within, into or out of the United States were called off on Friday, while 3,944 flights were delayed.
... US flight attendant Allie Malis, who is also the government affairs representative at the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, a union representing American Airlines air crew, told CNN Travel her thoughts on the chaos. 'There's some kind of breakdown happening that I believe should be preventable,' Malis said. She described 'uncomfortable' situations where crew members, having been delayed on incoming flights, would find themselves sprinting through the airport to make their next flight. 'Sometimes the passengers are cheering that you're arriving because it means their plane's going to go, or even that they're upset -- they think it's your fault that the flight has been delayed when you can't work two flights at once, although I'm sure the airlines wish we could,' Malis said. Many airlines cut back and have operated with a skeleton staff for the better part of the last two years due to the pandemic. But now that travel demand is back, the airline industry is struggling to keep up.Let's talk about that. Karol Markowicz made a very good point in June: The airlines received $50 billion during the pandemic to keep paying their staffs, even though there was little air travel. The airlines took this money... and then promptly began shedding staff.
If you've flown recently, or attempted to, it might have gone something like this: Your 1 p.m. flight became a 5 p.m. flight that became a midnight flight before being summarily canceled. No explanation is given. The next flights out are already fully booked, but they have a middle seat with two stopovers leaving next week if that still works for you. ...She also points out that pilots who refused to get vaccinated were fired. Now, I know people who got PPP loans. Those loans have to be paid back... unless you followed the government's criteria, in which case the loans are forgiven. The biggest criterion of PPP loan forgiveness was that you keep on your full staff and continue paying them. Basically PPP was given to businesses to keep paying staff. If the airlines encouraged pilots to retire early to avoid being laid off, then they did not follow PPP rules, and should pay that $50 billion back. I'm pretty sure, though, that airlines got a special stack of cash without the normal rules that every other non-Protected business was required to follow.
According to FlightAware, a website that tracks flight cancellations and delays, there were 1,629 delays and 631 cancellations "within, into, or out of the United States" just Sunday. This was only by noon. Cancellations and delays become more likely as the day progresses. Why are these frequent delays happening? Airlines cite post-pandemic demand being high. That's probably true, but people are excitedly booking seats on flights that allegedly exist only to have them not exist when it's time to travel. That's not the fault of demand. ... Then there's the pilot shortage. Why would there be a pilot shortage, the average flyer screams into the void. In one of the dumbest moves possible, pilots were encouraged to retire early to avoid being laid off during the pandemic. But here is exactly where the poor performance of airlines becomes a bigger deal than just a business failing to deliver quality service to the customer. Throughout the last two years, airlines received more than $50 billion in pandemic relief money. Our money. Congress has tried to demand answers about how that money was spent, but just like all of their other boondoggles, they could not come up with any clear answers. That money was meant to preserve jobs and save an industry. Pilots, pretty important to the whole flying thing, should never have been encouraged off the job. Instead, the industry is in disarray, staff were laid off anyway and the money is gone.

This is key. They fired people for not taking the experimental gene therapy shot that is proving to be dangerous and nearly worthless against the virus and now they don't have enough people to do the job.
Making matters worse is that the unions protect people who just refuse to show up because they didn't want to work that day or partied too hard the previous night.

Flight attendants as well. And once one of the crew for a flight hours out for the week, they are done flying, even if the plane has already boarded. If they can't track someone down to join the flight, the flight is cancelled. I have seen it happen.

It was stolen, just like the vast amounts of money fired out of the Washington Money Cannon in other areas. And it was "supposed" to be to protect workforce, but was that in the actual act? The airlines weren't PPP stuff, they got their own bailout. Was it actually a requirement to not lay those guys off? I doubt it.
So they fired people anyway and business was slow, then they fired people who stayed because they didn't want to get the shots, and now everything is fucked. Okay.
So why not rehire people? Why can't they recruit? Pay not good enough? Too many people left with a bitter taste in their mouths over how they were treated over the past two years, and so refuse? What gives. Can they not hire for some reason, or do they just not want to?

McCarthy and McConnell push through the vote quickly, using GOPe and Democrat votes to get it through, and it proves the breaking point at which the MAGA wing of the party gets sporty.

Everywhere is having trouble hiring people, and generally with ever higher salaries.
Yet we have fewer people actually working then ever before in history.
It is perplexing. Are more people on the dole? Are they working in the black market? Or are they just putting it on their credit cards?

The biggest criterion of PPP loan forgiveness was that you keep on your full staff and continue paying them. Basically PPP was given to businesses to keep paying staff."
Yea sure. PPP was a total scam and little more than bribes and payoffs for companies to pocket large sums of money and continue not to make waves about ridiculous lockdowns. I have personal experience with PPP and the criteria for waiving the payback. While my company played fair ball on the application and using the money for salaries, I know for sure at least a half-dozen companies in similar situations that lied on the app, pocketed the money while laying off employees, and still got all or some of the payback waived.

----
Yes, and no. As long as there aren't any serious problems, the big commercial planes can fly themselves. A few years ago I found a video on YouTube that showed a stewardess doing a simulated landing in an Airbus. So yeah, your C-130 pilot would probably be able to take-off and land no problem with minimal training.
The trouble is when things go wrong. Then a pilot needs to the proper safety training to know what to do. That's why the C-130 pilot would need extra training.

Bullshit. There were 744 hours last month (31 days). To have pulled in $21k gross, that implies 228.25 hours, which is is 31% of all the hours in the month. That's 7.4 hours per day, every day, with no days off. For just business days (21 of those last month), it's 11 hours per day.
This is by no means impossible, but for a piecework gig, it's extremely unlikely that the work pipeline was that consistent or that deep.

The key here is "SBA" - they don't loan to big corporations. So, yeah, the airline industry got a separate cash fund to keep flying and they blew through it in a giant, freewheeling bonfire of taxpayers' money.

Partially true. PPP was farmed out to local banks who did what they could do for their best customers (larger companies). A number of multi-million dollar public companies got PPP loans. I don't think it was policed all that well if at all. But otherwise, I agree the airline industry probably had a direct pipeline to much more substantial loans.

Your loan is based on payroll $$, with some admin and healthcare/benefits costs thrown in - you had to maintain that or pay it back - so people leaving means you had to hire replacements. Again, these are SBA PPP rules, they don't lend to big businesses so a corporation with many $100's of millions in revenue would have to apply to another program - one I suspect was more forgiving and...grifty.

Bullshit. There were 744 hours last month (31 days). To have pulled in $21k gross, that implies 228.25 hours, which is is 31% of all the hours in the month. That's 7.4 hours per day, every day, with no days off. For just business days (21 of those last month), it's 11 hours per day.
This is by no means impossible, but for a piecework gig, it's extremely unlikely that the work pipeline was that consistent or that deep.

Doing so in exchange for nothing would get the MAGA crowds demanding that Congress be sacked. To the extent they aren't, I mean.
Now, it's possible the Rats lose zero Senate seats, but wtf does that mean? That Biden can go from +20 to -20 approval but have the same number of seats? The problem with lying and stealing to win is that you either do it all the time, or get ready for the pendulum to swing back when you stop.

Plus the customers are p.o. because it's taking so long, and the store's a disgusting mess. I'm guessing because this is what I see, the few times I go. There is a family run franchise that is clean and efficient, which is the exception.

I once had a gig with a regional bank tht had several jets used by their underwriters to visit potential clients. They did a lot of lending to farms and wanted to see the operations in person. Their policy was if there is a seat on a plane anyone in the company can jump on for free. And contractors like me were included. I’d go out of my way to catch a flight. They had the schedule online and I was like oh there is a Denver to Sarasota flight. I’ll catch a flight to Denver and hop on to Sarasota for a few days on the beach. Then coming back I’d find some other hop to get me close to home.
Flying private is heaven. Show up 10 mins before the flight, walk on the plane. Plane takes off.

Fourteen young Canadian docs die after getting the shot. Normally would be ~0 over 30 years.
This is a list of just the docs my doctor friend in Canada heard about passively. In the past 30 years, he's never heard of a single death like this. Not one. Now there are 14. (the comments bring more to light. the post linked by anita jader linked in the piece says it all - I have the same experience, just not that many)

Why? Not taking any more shots (J&J, one and DONE). Not wearing a mask for no reason. I like sleeping in my own bed at night, and the airline I was flying for, bringing illegals back to wherever they came from is now flying them deeper into the US. Screw that.

There is a big difference in intentionally not paying legitimately owed tax and having a different opinion on what the tax law is. Try calling the IRS to get a definitive answer on a question. They won't give you one and tell you you're on your own figuring it out. Also, with the IRS you're guilty until proven innocent. They can seize all your assets and there is nothing you can do about it.

My boss. Though not $900K, best year with two businesses. Asked him about bonuses and raises. He replied "Both?"
Bitches about a Suburban costing $100K.
Wonder why boomers are leaving the work force?

Some years ago, Delta bought the Monroe Energy Trainer Refinery in Marcus Hook, PA. Reportedly, about 20% of the refinery's production is jet fuel.

Asked earlier, where are they going to find all those new agents? They don't need numeracy, they just need to know how to shoot. So this is probably an inner city jobs program.

going out was 2+ hours late, and some people missed the flight because they couldn't get through security fast enough
coming back was an hour late, which the airline denied until the scheduled flight time, trying to claim that a plane that wasn't there was on time.

What's the worst that could happen by continually over-stressing a workforce that puts millions of planes, loaded 200 people at a time, into the air with tired staffers, pilots, and service crew?

What COULD he do? Well, he could accelerate training of new pilots - offer free scholarships, or even slightly reduce the number of hours necessary to become qualified. he could, temporarily, allow pilots over the age of 65 fly, assuming they pass a physical. That could potentially add 10,000 pilots to the total.

2) A shocking % of those that got vaccinated can no longer pass their physicals - myocarditis is the most common side effect of the vaccine
3) Many pilots died shortly after getting the vaccine
These flight cancellations are 100% vaccine related. That's why the "news" NEVER discusses why there have been 1000's of cancellations per week for months on end.

I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Superb work!
