I believe the Democrat party are run by nihilists and old Joe is just taking orders from them. I think this is their reaction to Trump actually making progress and getting things done. If you think about the future of the Democrat party when blacks and Hispanics waking up to how their lives would be so much better by shedding the victim shroud thrown over them constantly by Democrats and getting a bigger piece of the economic pie from more jobs and wage increases.

The damn Democrats blew it all up for their political self preservation.

That was their knee-jerk reaction. Then to double-down on their race-baiting and throwing in more #MeToo BS and also the sex alphabet "victims". They are just stuck on that type of stupid and they are effing destructive as all hell.

The airlines are just one of the many things the have broken. They actually are so addicted to playing politics with crises through their media pals, that they don't even see that their political brand is owning all of it and the voters are blaming them for all of it.

There is something seriously defective in the liberal personality that makes them incapable of solving difficult problems... and thus the problems just compound. I live in an 80% liberal college town on the leftcoast and the roads are a mess, the budget is a mess, there is not enough housing, crime is increasing, programs are being cut, the downtown is falling in disrepair, there are crazy homeless people everywhere. Yet the City Council debates for a full meeting having to allow 100s of concerned citizens to speak on the agenda item to condemn Russia and Putin in their invasion of Ukraine. And to change the decal on the police cars from a "menacing eagle" to something like flowers or a bicycle. Really, that is what is important in their twisted little heads.

We've farmed out so much of our manufacturing and service industries that we no longer know how to do anything for ourselves. This has been coming for a long, long time. Wait until everything is done by robots and computers and the only folks who know how to "fix" or adjust them live in a certain country on the other side of the globe. Biden and his administration (and the RINOS) are simply icing the cake now and it isn't even real icing nor is it real cake.

MRNA vaccines have had a devastating effect on pilots. Look it up.

As an airline pilot, this is unfortunately going to get a lot worse. We simply don’t have enough pilots. It’s going to reach crisis levels pretty soon. There are many reasons for this. During the height of Covid, almost all airlines gave buyouts to senior pilots to save jobs, we are just entering a period of unprecedented pilot retirements, the military doesn’t have the same number of pilots they once did, civilian flight training is prohibitively expensive. In the past, starting pilot pay was welfare wages and many changed careers or just stayed away. It takes many years to properly train a pilot. Then it takes many more years for these pilots to gain experience to qualify for airline jobs. This problem is getting worse by the day. I would guess that by the end of the year, the pipeline will be close to dried up. The regionals will get hit the hardest. Then the JetBlue’s, Spirits and other low cost carriers.

All of the above. I don't trust anyone anymore. Not my doctor, not the supply chains, not my employer, not the economy, not my friends. I bought bags of dry goods, a rifle, and ten acres of remote land. I sold all of my stocks at the top and put it all in crypto. I'm going to start a garden and a business to reduce my dependency on these corrupt companies and politicians. Inflation is not transitory, and it's not accidental. Just like viruses, inflation can be an unconventional weapon against the citizenry. I urge everyone to try to be as self sufficient as possible. Learn to hunt, grow food, fix things, and get strong now, train like you're going to war. The people around us are going to need help when the next shoe drops.

I’ve heard the airlines are facing fuel shortages. My cousin was stuck in Naples for a week. Biden’s America is a nightmare l. Can’t wait for the food shortages

I have two pilots in the family that fly for different airlines. Here is the scoop from them. First, during the pandemic there was a serious need to decrease headcount. They did this by encouraging early retirement and voluntary furloughs/reduced pay to stay home (my relative didn’t work for over a year by choice. Second, pilots who don’t fly need training to get back in the pit, but there are also shortages of trainers and trainers need to train (months behind)… Third, Oddly enough, even with inflation and high ticket cost there’s a huge increase in demand for travel since Covid restrictions have lifted. Hence, massive issues for most of the airlines. Add in any Covid related terminations and you have a massive problem with air travel right now. Hope this helps.

I was aged 20 under Carter and those odd even gas lines were so bad it felt like the Great Depression my mother had talked about living through. Today feels like a horrible Dickens novel but I can’t locate the “best of times” in my life—maybe that was the 80’s.

Yes, but they do have a solution. Draconian sanctions so that we starve millions already in poverty in emerging markets and further disrupt supply chains everywhere. Not to worry, when that fails plan B is to start nuclear war with Russia. That’ll solve everything.

obviously I think we have run out of great thinkers and doers. Nothing is done for the good of the people just like the crap from the viruses where they got everything all wrong. No accountability, no apologizing for their mistakes. Just watch Psaki with the press, complete and utter nonsense.

We have merely imagined that we are in some fantastical future. In fact, we are in one of the last partially functioning villages in ancient Rome. The economy is imploding, the empire is collapsing, the borders are being stormed, and an addled mined politician preaches trannyism as the capital burns. This is a reality which is otherwise too horrible to bear.

Prove that this is not true.

It's not just JetBlue. It's all airlines.

It's not just the airlines. It's the entirety of the service sector.

Tell employees they have to wear a mask all day. They have to get vaccinated. If they have a religious or ADA exemption, they have to shove a Q-tip up their nose every few days.

Tell them all this despite abundant evidence that: (a) masks don't work and are actually harmful; (b) vaccines don't work and are actually harmful; (c) vaccines don't interfere with spreading COVID, but if you get vaccinated you're put in this special 'no test' category; and (d) if you already had COVID, you still have to get vaccinated.

Some folks are stupid and/or they'll do whatever the state tells them. But, not everyone is like this. Most have figured out that those who publicly staked out positions re masks, vaccines, natural immunity and social distancing, were dead wrong. The charade we see today is just their refusal to admit their mistakes.

Some won't tolerate the charade and won't show up to work to play along. That's what this is.

Lot's of vaccinated pilots getting grounded when their physicals come due. Previously undetected heart abnormalities. My nephew is a pilot, and he's shared with me that one doc alone has had to ground as many as 20 pilots. I've got a screen shot from a pilot's only text thread that I can share.

But with 12,000 illegal aliens arriving every day, surely a large number of them must be trained pilots, mechanics and flight attendants.

Biden is owned and operated by the Davos/NWO/NATO/WEF/EU Oligarchs and none of this is by chance. The US economy must fail and go into utter chaos or the reset does not make it to its conclusion. Now all things are transgender---Disney etc. I am still trying to figure out how they will steal or stop the November elections. New C19 variant? WW III and Marshal law executive order? They know they will lose many, many, many seats. Yet the insanity ramps up every day. Any thoughts?

This is all a very intentional plan to destroy America. If Joe and the dems were one bit concerned about November things would be different. But they aren't. One must ask why. I think a big concern should be that our earnings and investments will turned into digital currency very soon. The push by this administration is social credit scoring and ultimate control of every American. While we're distractedwith covid, and laughing at Joe Biden,the powers that be and the alphabet mafia are very busy with a dangerous agenda that once on place will never be reversed. Elections will be the first casualties of this war...

yes. our country is stupid now. This is our future. Stupid stupid people

Firstly, they have no guiding principles, no higher power.

We are to accept them (no not me) as they are, purple haired and multipierced

And somehow, relate to them on an adult level.

stupid people.

Where are all the brilliant people living? I need to go there. I can not take this much longer.

Actually, when hubbs and I are together, this is good, and we select our interactions with others. When it gets intolerable, we leave politely.

We have not flown in so many years. I do not miss it.

Think it is across the board. My 14 year old son was supposed to fly back from Puerto Rico last Friday midnight- flight was cancelled 2 hours before, couldn’t get another flight until Sunday late afternoon & it was cancelled less than 30 minutes before take off. They were told staff had “exceeded flying hours”. He finally made it home Thursday at 1:30am after having to fly home first class because that was only ticket left. First flight was “Spirit”, second “Frontier”, final “Delta”. This is vaccine mandates for sure!
