Airlines cancel flights due to COVID staffing shortages | AP News

because of a “massive rise” in sick leave among pilots. The cancellations on flights to Houston, Boston and Washington come despite a “large buffer” of additional staff for the period. The airline says it couldn’t speculate on whether COVID-19 infections or quarantines were responsible because it was not informed about the sort of illness. Passengers were booked on other flights.

To ease staffing shortages, countries including Spain and the U.K. have reduced the length of COVID-19 quarantines by letting people return to work sooner after testing positive or being exposed to the virus.

1stWorldProblems Couldn't imagine dealing with all the angry entitled Karen's as a result of this. All of you working the counters, online support, or phone support. I'm thinking of you. You're all awesome.

Good, shit is serious and these comments really show how uneducated people still are on covid even with almost a million dead and going on 2 years dealing this.

The work ethic in America has gone down the drain sad to say. This is what happens when skills, knowledge and ability are secondary to quotas in filling jobs like airline pilots and crew.

aircrafts pest the air anyway

Didn’t you know if you pay your employees triple time they don’t get Omicron?

This will save lives.

find out facts over fear.Omicron symptoms are that of a normal cold. Probably all it is and the cdc has to make it part of the scheme called covid. Stop and think. How did a cold! Virus come from Africa in two weeks. That many people was in South Africa at once. And came home?

So airlines cancelled Christmas? 😝

We put the travel ban to see how much time we have before we get here,

Oh please. So you get a cold...

Keep it real. Staff are refusing your mandates NoVaccinePassports

Wha?

'not all airlines' lol

FU AMERICA, yours truly, Delta and United

You seem to have added a random word in the middle of the last sentence.

The flu is bad this year?

They can still fly SouthwestAir as long as they don't bring a mask, and wear a 'Let's Go Brandon!' t-shirt, or other traitor merch.

American will wait until people are sitting at the gate to cancel

Hmmm 🤔 are they requiring sick 🤒staff to fly anyway⁉️

Let's disallow our 'cabin fever' to lead us to make travel decisions that might cause the holidays to be a super spreader; thus cause even more dangers & restrictions post holiday. (Also, only those unsure of themselves feel a need to make noises or worse about differing views.)

400 cancellations out of 30,000+ flights isn’t news.

Disallow 'cabin fever' to lead to travel decisions that might make the holidays a super spreader; thus cause even more dangers & restrictions post holiday. Bless us each and every one.

My niece’s flight with American was delayed overnight last night.

I don't believe their reasoning for the cancellation.

Get ready for...LOCKDOWN 2022

And probably saved a bunch of lives in the process.

Wow that is odd! Should have booked American or Southwest!
