Nearly 2,000 flights were canceled Sunday morning over omicron-fueled airline staff shortages and bad weather — adding to an already chaotic holiday weekend travel nightmare, according to airline data.
At least 1,979 flights were called off domestically as of 9:45 a.m. with airports in Chicago and Denver among the hardest hit, according to flightaware.com. Another 870 flights were delayed, frustrating fliers and leaving some temporarily stranded.
Overall, Southwest airlines scrapped the most trips with 264 cancellations on Sunday, followed by JetBlue with 169 and Delta with 16. Americans Airlines also canceled 136 flights on Sunday, and United halted 94 flights.

Chaos due to pilot shortages and typical freezing weather. Pilots are restricted to the planes they are rated for. Other staff can flow anywhere. United explains that being jabbed is a safety issue, even though 98% of the people on the plane (customers) aren’t required to be jabbed. United is bringing Unjabbed staff from their London base to replace Unjabbed staff based in the US. What a RoosterUp.

I hope my trip to Iceland this Saturday (Boston to Keflavík) isn’t cancelled/delayed. I’ve been planning this since last May.
Notice how medium never blames mandatory lay off of pilots and attendants due to federal government mandates for covid?
