Headed out of town this weekend? Going to fly? Good luck with that one! Last weekend, we had over 10,000 flights which were either cancelled or delayed. 10,000! Does nothing work anymore in our country? What is the boy wonder, Mayor Pete, doing about this? Same thing he did about our container ship mess at our ports. Nada. But he is being very PC, by taking maternity leave, so his husband can continue to "bring home the bacon."
We have a hot mess stacked on top of a cluster right now with our air travel. What was at one time pretty much routine, has become anything but. Why? Mostly staffing. Some weather, for sure. But the staffing is the big problem. And what is the government doing to help this situation? Mayor Pete? Hello? Is anything being done, or is this the way things are going to be from now on?
I traveled quite a bit in my working days. If not for work, then for the Navy, I spend a lot of time in the air, or at airports. Sure, I had the occasional delay. Or even a less common cancelation. But those were rare, and not common. These days, air travel is a crap shoot. And if you do get on a flight, most times you are packed in like a sardine in a can. No comfort, no perks, no nothing.
We are suppose to fly out later this year to go on a cruise. I can't wait (satire). The last time we flew out for a cruise, we were on a small jet, loaded to the gills. It was about as much fun as having a root canal. HOWEVER (comma), between a flight like that, and not getting on any plane to make our cruise - I will take the sardine can. Will Howdy Doody be able to fix this very important transpiration issue prior to us leaving? I doubt it.
"The golden age of transportation is over." That is the name of an article I read the other day. I guess what Biden and Pete Butt wants us to do is practice the art of staycation. This could be the summer of discontent for many of us. Vacation? In your dreams, baby. Those days might becoming just a memory.
