Sounds dangerous to be asking pilots to pick up extra shifts. Mistakes happen when your tired.

[GungfuRichard]

Double and triple pay for essential workers is great. But I don't know about getting on a plane with overworked, tired pilots.

[greensteelusallc]

Dangerous to ask pilots to double up on hours.
Covid-19 is killing the American travel ways.
Drive your car. Take a bus, rent a RV or take a train.

PLEASE PLEASE don't tell me that you are NOT SURPRISED.
2 GIVEN KNOWNS BEFORE LEAVING HOME
1. COVID PANDEMIC STILL HAPPENING
2. VERY BAD WEATHER
We have technology like SKYPE they should have stayed home, ENJOYED the fruit's of their labor's and SKYPED. They can hook it up to their BIG SCREEN TV and it is like looking through a window at the one's you love.
I don't feel sorry for any of them. The SAD 😭 NEWS IS;
You won't be going home tomorrow either.

We really need to get politicians out of businesses… all they do is screw things up.

In this weather, people should be happy that they are stuck in airports and not grey hound bus stations.

[marcopolo]

If the airlines can't handle the traffic, they shouldn't be selling the tickets.

Its almost as if they're trying to spread the virus cramming all these people into airports.

[riskybizness]

Reminds me of Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

I head to flight attendant training tomorrow with my new airline. 😅 Hopefully ATL isn’t having a lot of cancellations

[josefinaguerra]

I am happy and thankful🙏 I came home on time after a trip in Chicago ❤️ prayers for everyone that are stoke in the airport 🤗

[butterflyeyes]

My flight was delayed by 2 hours. Thank goodness it wasn't canceled.

[mmad]

it's not covid related staffing shortages. Why are they lying about that?

[tashamcdonald]

Watching the growth of stocks and financial assets in few years, everyone should start investing pronto even with the dip cause of the surprise in stock rising!

[TitoInKilleen]

All of a sudden they can afford to pay people what they are worth.

[videorocketzmillarmilla]

Drive. Its winter, , why are u flying?!? You know how it will be! Better yet stay home, relax, zoom and be carefree. No luggage, missed flights and tangled nerves.

[commanderbell]

Well well well Airline Industry fired their employees over COVID Mandates.
Well they have to eat it.

[toma]

well why are people trying to fly anyways??? use a brain.

[LerockJohn]

Extra shifts for pilots? Wouldn't be against some basic security regulations??

[djaiphe]

With our level of Corruptions, Airlines have been selling plane tickets like lottery tickets and simply blame Weather and or COVID, the categories they created for not to be responsible🤑

[DerangedLeftWingers]

Be careful of any party that chooses to rule by fear. Whether it’s fear of COVID, fear of inequality, or fear of your neighbor. Fear is used to control people. Fear is what tyrants and despots use. Don’t be controlled by fear. Stand up and be fearless.
