  1. You people are being played. Like sheep. Want it fixed? Don't be so gullible. Stop bailing them out. Stop flying for 2 years. You'll see them change their tune.

  2. Solar weather issues YEAH!! Coronal MASS EJECTION. Last thing as a person in a plane is to lose POWER, GPS AND DAMAGED ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, AND WORST OF ALL RECIEVE HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF SOLAR RADIATION.

  3. That's what happens when you force your workers to get the vaccine alot of them are like I quit and it's hurting the economy and it's bidens fault you don't force Americans America is about freedom personal choice you don't like it don't live here go to another country we are not about for the greater good we are about individuality think for yourselves not govt think for us crestons wife speaking

  4. BREAKING: 20-45 million Google views, or just click name, for plan to RELOCATE TO
    virus-free-sides of 4-lane highways, (services-restaurants between), Olds/Homeless get
    free food, water, elect, medicines, groceries, clinics. ..

  5. I had to cancel my vacation plans due to multiple airlines unexpectedly canceling my flights or changing them to flights that don't make sense. and their refund policy and hold time waits are out of this world.

  6. I’m scared now.. hope they fix this in the next 3 weeks cuz I’m doing a couple layovers due to my mom’s leg surgery and I don’t want her uncomfortable and be on an airplane for 9 hrs straight 😥

  7. “You need to name an alternate airport on your IFR flight plan if, for the period of time one hour before and one hour after your estimated time of arrival, the weather is forecast to include a ceiling of 2,000 feet (above ground level) AGL and/or visibilities less than three statute miles (the 1-2-3 rule)…” FAA requirement for alternate airport in bad weather.

    Most economy airlines have limited landing agreements at different airports. If the economy airline had to land at an alternate airport due to bad weather that they didn’t have landing agreements, they would have to pay extra for landing and pay for the gate and ground crew to service the aircraft at the alternate airport from an airline competitor who had agreement rights. That’s why most economy airlines would cancel the flight and not risk the cost eating into their profit if they had to divert to an alternate airport. If you go with an economical airline, you take your chances of above normal cancellations due to weather.

  8. I am forever grateful to Dr IGUDIA on YouTube who cured me from herpes with his herbal medication, you are so real and trusted.

  9. Customer services are changing with the times. In the days before the high cost of gasoline, you had full service gas stations with guys checking the condition of your car while pumping your gas while you sat in your car to entice customers to their service stations; with the high cost of fossil fuel, it’s become self-service. The airlines having to layoff their employees due to the slump in travel because of COVID are adjusting their customer service and adjusting their flights to optimize their passengers per flight profit post-COVID. Your options are few; you can drive, take a bus, train, or have a video conference call.

  10. You all had to know that coming out of the COVID-19 shutdown there would be problems with staffing, supply chain issues and predicting customer demand that would lead to these issues across various industries. The shutdowns and slowdowns were necessary to combat the sickness. Don't be a whiny poot butt!!! You could be traveling by wagon train with no lights or roads while trying to dodge wild animals. Things have been worse.

  11. If you are frustrated by the airlines, don’t fly during this time. You should expect all these problems since we are trying to recover from a pandemic, and too many people are trying to travel right now. Stay home. Live more simply. Save your money.

  12. I’m not traveling during coronavirus, if in the United States I’m driving! I won’t get on an airplane ✈️ for at least another year!

  13. If airlines change to your ticket , they won’t charge you for a fee and if you change it, they will charge you a fee. What am ahole

  14. if you want to travel in the midst of a pandemic, you will have to accommodate to work forces that can’t keep up. It’s sad to see how silver spooned so much of the human race is. Crying about how uncomfortable masks are, crying at the sight of covid news that may ruin their plans, get your fat egotistical heads out of your behinds smh

  15. So the decided for u? Maybe I dont need this flight after so much time passed. The should return the MONEY! Or cancel and make your next flight free.

  16. Im so glad I live in Europe. We have something called consumer airline passenger protection law. All the things an airline does on in the US to a paying customer is not only illegal in all European Union, if they do, they have to pay the consumer triple the amount of the ticket, if the airline changes anything about your originally booked flight. They also cannot bump you into another flight nor change your seat assignment.
    You guys in the US apparently have ZERO consumer rights, like an actually law like we do that protects the consumer aka airline passenger!!!

  17. More reason to not go on an airplane anymore. If it's not covid, irate passengers, or even a crash, now it's this hassle of airlines changing my whole flight plan without telling me. I will just drive from now on.

  18. After flying around the world for years, I gave it up when United Airlines knocked that guy's teeth out. You submit to the airlines custody you fly, they can do whatever the want with you.

  19. This is payback for passengers not knowing how to act on flights. Attendant's are being assaulted on flights, people trying to storm the cockpit. The airlines are just letting people sit in the airport.
