Have you seen Trudeau and Johnson sitting at G7 discussing whose corporate jet is bigger, faster, etc. whilst ordinary folk are queued inside and outside airports. Soon the only flights will be for emergencies, oh, and for elites.
Part of disaster planning touches on capacity planning. You have to know what resources you need to prepare for when you don't have them.
Airlines know this as well. Which makes these recurring fusterclucks inexcusable. They insisted on jabbing everyone and now they don't have the resources they need, but instead of confronting the issue they're pointing fingers hoping no one will notice.
Yup. No matter what the cause, they sold a service they can't deliver, so it's on them.
If I were benevolent dictator of these United States, one edict to the airlines would be: If you don't get the passenger to the destination that you sold him within 12 hours of his scheduled arrival time, you owe that passenger a double his money back refund, and no excuses will be accepted; not weather, not mechanical delays, not crew shortages; no excuses at all. Either do what you promised or pay up. I believe this would motivate them to do better. :)
That said, flying has became progressively more unpleasant during the last few decades. Between the ridiculous security theater at the airports, the ever-shrinking seats, the lack of service and surly flight attendants, and the always completely full planes, it wasn't enjoyable before the "pandemic", and now... If I can't drive there, I'm not going.
They don’t want us travelling. (I hate flying anyway!)
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the airborne sardine can either.
I can't believe anyone would fly in a corporate owned plane these days with all the sudden strokes etc that've happened to pilots

Having spent a quarter century doing disaster planning, I have come to really dislike flying, and that was before the pandemic.
Not knowing if the pilot is going to keel over during landing is an added risk I'd rather not deal with.
Man kann sich des Eindruckes nicht erwehren, dass hier eine Gruppe globaler
Entscheider mit der Pandemie private Firmen ins Aus befördern will, um eine
marxistisch-planwirtschaftliche Welt zu formieren, mit nur wenigen
Konzernen, die übrig bleiben.
Stella, this is brilliant. This is how it's going to have to go.
Bottom up. Build it.
The people at the top...all of them. Will not be helpful.
When are they ever helpful?

If it's the jab, it's on them.
If it's something else it's still on them.
