Over 1,000 flight cancellations.....
The rest of it is a discretionary luxury.
But apart from law enforcement and public safety, the only air travel that's not a completely discretionary luxury is air transport of human organs for transplant, or bringing medicines, blood, specialist first responders like rescue teams to disaster sites.
My sister went to Jamaica with her family for xmas and their flight home was cancelled because of the very weak Omicron (Xi) variant somehow. So they had to spend a few extra days there at their own expense.
If I have to or want to be in Puerto Rico tomorrow, why does that bother you?
Bash me all you want, but you're wrong and I'll continue to defend it here.
Due to layoffs/firings/quitting of those who wouldn't take the shot.
Due to sickness in those who did take the shot.
I've accidentally brought drugs and knives through security 3-4 times.
Puerto Rico tomorrow? More power to you. It doesn't bother me. Never said it bothered me. You said it bothered me. LIke you know the inside of my mind.
It bothers you
It's a savvy PR campaign by the airlines for your taxpayer money, sir.

1,000 pfft.

We got a car rental that I swear was turned around immediately after arriving from Texas with zero prep and tried to exchange it in Tucson. None of the rental places had an SUV, was told it was because of all the flight cancellations.

Rental car places sold a lot of cars off during covid not realizing chip shortages and new car manufacturing would be fucked for a while. Rental car companies had idle cars because travel crashed, not generating revenue and then people getting stimulus so sold them off #CarInflation.
It will be at least 2 years before it normalizes. Rented in Tampa and Ft. Myers recently and there were no cars in the garage basically. I don't think people really understand how f'd up the supply chain is. We're still waiting on parts for the Sequoia repair. That got hit 4 weeks ago. My car just burned through a wheel bearing and is in the shop today. Wife ca...
What's worse the idiot MBAs sold off all these cars into a crashed market, getting much less then normal rate for them. They would've been much better off simply holding on to ther car inventory until travel recovered or at least until used car prices soared like they did.
