Nearly 2,000 American Flights Grounded This Weekend — Too Windy

Nearly 2,000 flights were unexpectedly canceled over the weekend, leaving passengers frustrated. The airline announced the cancellations were due to wind and COVID.

After the airlines mandated vaccines as per Joe Biden, American Airlines lost flight attendants, pilots, and ground staff. However, they claim the cancellations are due to wind gusts and the pandemic. They never mention the vaccine mandate.

The wind gusts are always mentioned, claiming flight attendants and pilots weren’t in the right places.

In August, Spirit Airlines had 2,800 flights canceled and said it was bad weather and staff shortages. They didn’t say there was a work slowdown.

In early October, Southwest Airlines canceled about 2,000 flights and lost about $75 million. They blamed thin staffing. However, the CEO then announced they won’t fire any unvaccinated workers. The problem has been alleviated.

The airlines report they are rebuilding after COV and staff haven’t yet returned to full force. The union says the airlines have tried to force flight attendants to work beyond monthly limits on work hours.

Never do they mention the mandate, just staffing due to COV and the weather.

Odd, how none of the many other airlines flying out of Dallas experienced the same high winds.

As long as the airlines continue to lie to the public about the weather, which does not seem to be affecting the other airlines, people should find other means of transportation. Make them suffer the way they are making their employees suffer.
