I think part of this may actually be orchestrated. "Look how bad Covid is! Look at all the flights we canceled! Guess we'll just have to lock you in your homes!"
It's like saying: "Hey! Everyone who has Covid can only be treated at a hospital! Oh goodness Hospitalizations from Covid skyrocketed! Better institute a lockdown!"
I wouldn't be shocked if they were testing all their healthy pilots constantly like how all the sports leagues are having trouble because no players can play because a test said so and they aren't even sick.
I was around a few too many Covidians over the holiday terrified of this stuff, as long as those people continue to exist they will continue to be played fear games with. I tried to tell them that their same plans will be ruined next year until they decide to move on, but they don't listen.
Airlines began preemptively canceling flights shortly before Christmas as staff members called out sick after testing positive, mirroring a national surge in coronavirus cases. Carriers might have a chance to regain some footing as travel eases between Christmas and New Year’s, but the latest figures suggest more cancellations are likely in the days ahead.
“The system is under duress,” said Dennis Tajer, a spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, which represents crews at American Airlines.
That dastardly (insert variant here) is the cause!
I guarantee it's because of the unvaxxed being fired and the vaxxed being unfit to fly.
I actually think it might be different.

I have a buddy who is becoming a regional pilot and they are trying to push through 250 new pilots a month. The shortage is very real.
planes pretty much fly themselves at this point
well, the big ones anyway
not a pilot but I thought airbus and other big planes has "autoland" for years now. I don't know the limitations or how often it's used.

The diversity hires strike again.

The weather is just fine.
It rained in seattle. Naturally they cancelled nationwide just to be sure.
Yayyy I'm flying next week
