Hundreds of flights across the country have been canceled on Christmas Eve, allegedly, as surging virus cases put pressure on airlines. It’s unnecessary since the planes have the cleanest air of almost any indoor space.
The airlines like to ignore the reality and just say it’s because of the weather or surging COV, but in fact, they have fired too many people and many are rebelling by calling in sick. Many of the vaccine mandates are seriously harming this country and they don’t work. They haven’t worked.
The mandates requiring healthy people to quarantine is another one-size-fits-all absurdity.
The airline industry says it is contending with staff shortages that threaten to hamper operations amid the COVID resurgence, and Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian called on the CDC to revise its guidance for vaccinated workers who test positive from a 10-day quarantine to just five. Chuck Liberman, chief investment officer, and managing partner at Advisors Capital Management LLC told Cheddar he believes the omicron variant calls for more relaxed guidance given its reportedly mild symptoms.
The unnecessary masks, the shortage of pilots and workers is a problem for all airlines following the mandates currently being challenged in the court system.
It has also caused plane tickets to skyrocket.
Thank you, Joe, and your comrades in the White House.

That’s OK, when I go places these days I drive. It’s much more enjoyable than effectively being strip searched by TSA then forced to wear the badge of compliance (mask) like a good little comrade. And it is also to see how beautiful fly over country is and how great the people are as long as I stay out of big cities Democrats control, especially the sewer Democrats have turned Chicago into.
But, but, bad orange tweets that are mean.
Supply chain, trucker shortage, and other excuses from the Long March internal enemy fifth column.
The pilots are practicing bodily autonomy or freedom and it will (has) spread to other fields.
Ohh and Merry Christmas!
The labor shortage permeates almost every corner of our economy. Restaurants and fast food chain stores are suffering badly. My nearest Burger King is likely to close up completely as they are often trying to make it thru the day with ONLY TWO EMPLOYEES ON DUTY, one handling the money and the drinks, the other preparing the food.
My favorite hot dog vendor, The Yellow Jacket has closed for good after 29 years of serving the best slaw dogs, chili dogs, onion rings and peach pies within a hundred miles. My favorite BBQ joint has reverted to “take out only” and their wait times are horrendous for walk-in customers…calling your order in is required for fast pick up.
These are the side effects of government control, particularly in the forms of arbitrary Covid Alarmist lock-downs and mandates, a socialist economy and big giveaway programs. The rich socialists do not care. The professional politicians in DC do not care. It’s not their personal fortunes that are being depleted…it’s OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY.
