A union that represents Delta pilots, said staffing reductions due to the coronavirus pandemic and the drop-off in travel 'have left a smaller pool of pilots qualified and ready to fly in the fleets that are seeing an increased demand over this holiday.'

A surge in Thanksgiving demand is taxing Delta Air Lines' pandemic-era workforce. The carrier was forced to cancel hundreds of flights this week, according to its pilot union and the airline.

Delta ultimately canceled nearly one in every five flights it was scheduled to operate on Thanksgiving Day, and has dropped in total more than 500 flights this week, even as air travel has been picking up in the last few weeks. The airline said it expects its system to return to normal over the weekend.

I guess it wasn't such a great idea to load the planes while we are in the middle of a deadly pandemic.

Good

Says the Communist National Network

Airplanes actively undermine the attempt to stop the coronavirus they must be cancelled.

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Maybe if Delta didn’t have avocado toast and lattes they would have some moneyleft over.

Shut everything down! No essential worker exemptions! Choose life! 8 weeks minimum! Do it!

But, Republicans said the virus would disappear on November 4th. What happened?

Withdrawals today !!! I really appreciate all you've done for me, you are the best and I promise to spread your good work Thank you Johnteddy63 Short squeeze is a crime, a theft. 'Borrowing' (stealing in fact) shares and selling them, in the expectation that they could buy them back later at a lower price, return them to the lenders, and pocket the difference. This is known as a short squeeze.
