Thread 2837788

Anyone got any flights coming up in the next few weeks? What are the delay and TSA situations like right now at US airports?

>>2837788 (OP)
I voted for this

>>2837788 (OP)
I’m gonna kms. Hopefully I can get out of here successfully Sunday morning.

I have a flight to France in two weeks lol. Hopefully I get refunded if it gets cancelled but I expect some shenanigans.

I'm fucking off to Asia for the next couple weeks this Sunday. If SHTF by the time I come back for Thanksgiving then I might fly to Montreal and take the bus down from there instead

It’s sporadic depending on how many flight controllers show up at your particular airport on a given day. But it will only get worse if they miss their 3rd paycheck in 10 days.

how will they be able to deport people? Was looing forward to using this as a discount way of getting to El Salvador.

lol thank god im done traveling for the year
i would be very pissed if blumpf's retarded nonsense impacted my travel

>2025
>going to the US

Even if it was for business, just do a Zoom call or something.

Didn't Reagan fire striking air traffic controllers and replace the ones who didn't show up to work?

There was already a shortage of air traffic controllers. There's no one to replace them with.

The government will reopen after the elections today, since the Dems only shut it down to galvanize their base

They won't let flights stop, typical propaganda coming from new networks.

>>2837788 (OP)
Yes. To Japan at the end of November. I'm kinda ready for the thousand year woke reich at this point.

>Person in charge of stopping flights says they will stop flights
>They won't stop flights they won't let that happen
>Flights stop
Every time

wtf is going on?

>>2837788 (OP)
My international departure from America, the united states of is 27 days out. Next domestic flight 13 days out. I'm not stressing too much. Both tickets are booked directly with the carrier. Contract of carriage states that carriers have a legal obligation to get their fare-paying passengers to the destination on their fare. We'll get there when we get there.

The last flight I was on, the pilot aborted the landing and diverted from the runway on final approach. I looked out the window and saw a bank of cloud hanging over the airport and blocking the pilot's view of a very crucial slice of sky. He made a big circle as everyone gave each other brief anxious looks, then he landed safely after 12:40 airtime. This kind of shit happens when ATC is not on point with their communications.

come on 3 year shutdown!

>>2837788 (OP)
Looks like it started already. All flights out of LA SFO and JFK are suspended starting tomorrow.

>>2837839
that was just idiot mechanics. amts are some of the biggest knuckle draggers out there.
t. a&p

This is why it's a bad idea to book travel a year ahead of time.

>>2837839
Competency crisis
everyone is brain-rotted
people are being replaced with 3rd world labor
no one knows what they are doing anymore
no one cares about the quality of their work
And that's everything from fast food to aircraft mechanics to doctors.
It's only going to get worse

Lol

Unemployment's going up. The bad workers are already being fired. Workers can't afford to be lazy anymore. Recession will fix the problem.

>>2838086
Companies are refusing to hire people who have job-hopped too many times. This ensures that workers don't feel free to quit their jobs in search of something better. When workers stay put, wages remain stagnant, even when greedy owners are making record-high profits.

The "churn" during the late Trump and Biden years was a business owner's nightmare, because it resulted in strong upward pressure on wages.
>"Free market competition for labor? Hell no, we can't have that!"
I went from $11/hour in 2019 to $22/hour in 2023. Today I make $20/hour, and haven't had a raise in two years. Likewise, the starting wage at the local supermarket went from $10.50 to $19 per hour before slumping to $17.

Thankfully I can still afford to travel overseas, but my travel budget has declined from $50/day to $30/day, significantly reducing the quality and variety of travel experiences I am willing to pay for.
