I would hate to be in charge of scheduling for an airline. You cancel one flight it's a snowball effect to the flights that were going to use that plane or crew down the line.

This is true.

I hope this gets a lot worse quick.

Don't worry, it will. "Worse" is coming and "worst" is on deck.

I suspect this is going to become a SERIES of union walk offs in various sectors that are being ordered to take the vaccine. We've seen it with hospitals, airlines, and teachers. Other industries can join this effort as we roll into the very critical period of stocking up for Christmas.

The supply chains for almost EVERYTHING are already impacted and it is about to get WORSE. You have some huge retailers already bidding for PRIVATE charters and ocean vessels to move their goods to alternate or not usually used ports (Mobile, San Diego, etc.). Express carriers like FedEx, UPS, and DHL already booked for the Christmas rush season.

We have had to start telling customers we will ship it overnight but there is no guarantee it will actually be there overnight. UPS and FedEx are both failing to fulfill overnight about 30% of the time.

Yup. Same with the two day ground. But only if the plane arrives first.

Glad the adults are back in charge.
