Music to my ears. I keep trying and every time I think I'm out they pull me right back in!

I mentioned before, I think, we had a bad time in NO a while back, bad enough that I don't intend to return.  Our "friend" claimed she knew where to go and what to do.  She either didn't or it's a terrible place.  I think I lost a kidney.

Anyway, I went, I saw, I won't go back.

Good luck with your flight  

well, he is a Husker

You gotta try real hard not to enjoy New Orleans.

Flying in 2022 is the worst experience as a traveler in my lifetime.  My sample size is about 24 legs.  The cancel rate and interminable delays, gate routing, diversions, runway closures, and overall dysfunction is really amazing.

The model is unchanged since '19 with significantly less headcount for the same volume of flights.  We're now at and past 2019 passenger rates  Some combination of route cuts, new hiring and fare increases are the only path to improvement.

This exacerbated by pilot shortage already pre CV.  I feel bad for the staff working arse off now.  I've observed some amazing work by gate agents and flight attendants.  One confided that b/t Vax mandates and early retirements, they are in a big hole on coverage.  Many of these flights are canceled purely because crews are timed out.  Not really a secret.

I don't know anything about your flight Utee, but I know this isn't a Holiday week where I'm not getting on a plane.

Shortly after masks were eliminated on British flights which was before U.S. flights eliminated masks, I recall reading that COVID-19 spiked there. To what extent is this responsible for increasing flight cancelations in the U.S.? I am an infrequent flier but did fly within one-week after the mask requirement was eliminated, and almost no flight attendant, and only 10% of passengers, wore masks.
I have to think that increased spread of COVID-19 amongst airline employees is contributing. But, I don't see any analysis of this, in any news articles.
