They have absolutely destroyed the airline industry. A lot of airlines are being diverted from airports because they are down to skeleton crews of airtraffic controllers. Plus hundreds of routes are gone. I wouldn't fly for a million bucks. One of my friends flights took 18 hours and the plane was on fumes.My wife and I walk in the afternoons on base. We noticed the grass has not been mowed once this year in the common areas. The entire base looks like it is overrun with vegetation. I talked to those in charge of mowing and they said they only have 2 out of the 15 guys needed to mow base, because even though they are not GS employees they are still required to vaccinated and no one who works jobs like that are getting vaccinated.
I have turned down several contractor jobs working for the DOD due to the vaccine requirement, one on multiple occasions. It is unfortunate, as that job requires a specific skillset only a few people in the US have and if not filled it could cost US service member lives. I worked the job for almost two years, but got suckered away to another job making a lot of money. I ended up leaving that job after six months and was going to go back to the old job, because they couldn't find someone in the time I was gone, but then they came out with the vaccine requirement. I said, no.
I have flown twice since the vaccine mandate and your assessment is correct. My trips should have been 3 hours and 45 minutes each way; a 1 hour and 45 minute flight followed by a 1 hour and 15 minute layover and a 45 minute flight. Nope. It took 12-13 hours, twice going there and once coming back. Only one flight back was reasonable. Each instance was manpower related. Worse part about it is I can drive to the trip in 12 hours at the speed limit and 11 hours if I want to go 5-7 over.They have absolutely destroyed the airline industry.
