Yesterday, more than 7,300 airline flights were canceled or delayed {link} due to COVID-19 panic, and more specifically, Omicron variant infections amid the airline industry. Apparently, airline employees calling out sick, positive tests and quarantines. That’s their story, and they’re sticking to it.
Today, 5,085 delays so far, and another 2,930 flight cancellations [Via FlightAware].
As reported in The Hill:
(Via The Hill) […] Airlines have said they are struggling with staffing issues as many members of their workforce are calling out of work due to contracting the coronavirus. The U.S. has seen a sharp uptick in cases as the highly transmissible omicron variant continues to spread.
More than 7,300 flights in the U.S. were canceled or delayed on Sunday. On Christmas, American Airlines cited “a number of COVID-related sick calls” for the delays, but said its operation would be “running smoothly.”
American Airlines, Delta, SkyWest and United all issued statements to The Hill, citing a spike in COVID-19 cases among their workers as well as the winter weather for the high volume of cancellations. (more)
Oh, it’s gonna get worse, much worse. We are only just scratching the surface right now.
White House Occupant Joe Biden: “There is no federal solution.”
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg: “What, me worry?”
What message do illegal aliens get when the US government actually sends airliners to foreign countries to fly them into the country. This is beyond disgusting let alone criminal. How many laws do they violate to do this?
As always, the left will do whatever it wants unless someone stops them. Let us see if the GOP goes beyond Kabuki and letters and actually votes against any all budgets of those bureaucracies that participate in these crimes.
I’ll save everyone the suspense. The GOP won’t do a damn thing about it. But I’m sure you already knew that. Dear Lord, please have mercy on us.
They (GOP) have been doing something about it, PA96er…
They’ve been purposefully ignoring it.
George Washington, our first President, warned us to stay away from Party Politics. He was a Godly Man, and we should have headed him, but did not, hence we shoulder the consequence of our foolishness.
Believe it.
The GOP is campaigning on these issues trying to raise $M’s to f
ight back against these problemsfatten each politician’s personal net worth.Az actually has a law on the books against human trafficking, and its pretty clear that ANYONE that facillitates an illegal aliens entry into the U.S. can be prosecuted.
In fact, they have succesfully prosecuted several ILLEGALS under this law, as THEY played an affirmative role in them being smuggled into the country.
IF we had an AG, that wasn’t a worthless POS, he would sign indictments, and have sheriffs start arresting those Officials involved in this travesty.
Don’t think we’ve seen that in quite a while…an AG that wasn’t a POS, I mean
Brnovich is bad bad bad all around.
What countries?
The article says that at least one flight was from El Paso, Texas.
They are chartered planes under dhs flas. Yes San Antonio. Other PA airports got em too
Have no fear, heels up Harris is here!
She is fixing the border
When America wakes up to the fact that both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have no vested interest in protecting its citizens and work to bring illegals into our country to change demographics subservient to their rule.
Congress is robbing us blind.
Another Cluster-F^ck
I’ll bet the “Illegal Express” is on time without a hitch…
I bet they don’t need to remove their shoes or jackets prior to boarding the flight either..

I’m assuming all of these Airline Employees have all been double vaxx’d and for sure masked when working. Wonder whats going wrong here? (Rhetorical Question)
Kinda funny this new variant seems to be picking on the vax’d. Oh I couldn’t imagine why that would be.
There’s only way out of this mess. The question is will it happen soon enough to create the atmosphere for a mass awakening. And the awakening I speak of is not pie in the sky spiritual enlightenment. It’s abject terror once people know they have willingly signed over their bodies to be experimented on. This will happen at some point, will it be soon enough?
Oh, come on. The big pharm have been using the populace as guinea pigs, for experimental treatments, every time they get FDA “approval” and market a “new medication”; THATS reality.
And, people were naively unaware, or in denial if they DIDN’T know this.
Not as confident as some here, that there is going to be this “great awakening” and people are going to be “outraged” as they realise they have been damaged by the vaxs, and have no legal recourse.
I believe there will be an “Awakening”, Dutchman.
Some will be, as you say, “Outraged”.
For others…
A “Bridge too far”.
“You can lead a horse to water…”
Sincere question, Dutch: can one ‘willingly sign over their bodies to be experimented on’ — as in provide informed consent — if the manufacturer is providing fraudulent information about the drug and the intentions behind it?
Clearly, you are assigning nefarious intent on the part of the vaccine-hawkers (I agree)… So doesn’t fraud vitiate the legal immunity that the Big Pharma has been granted in the EUA? Seems like their shield of immunity should be stripped and everybody negatively affected would have legal recourse because of the fraud involved (as complicated, difficult, messy and expensive as that recourse would be)…
Thoughts?
We do not have a functioning legal system, so Big Harma is safe.
Sadly, that is a good point…
Our current trajectory is not toward a great awakening, but toward a great deadening. And yes, people will be outraged as they die.
The “awakening” is vital and necessary for basic survival of mankind as we know it today. The “awakening” will not be soon enough for those presently on the conveyor belt. However, people not yet on the conveyor belt must not get on the conveyor belt at all costs before it is too late.
And this right here terrifies me the most. I dont want to be the last one standing amidst all the people I love most in the world. But stand I will.
Naturally immune. I called in sick because Atlas shrugged. I’m not sick.
Welcome to the psychological Galt’s Gulch where anyone with common sense resides.
In an airline industry magazine, there is an “In Memoriam” section.
This year 111 pilots have died. The article by Steve Kirsch was reprinted on the outstanding site PRINCIPIA SCIENTIFIC. I’ll just leave it there
I saw that. It was shocking, as only about 1/2 dozen or so died yearly beforehand.
Yes, it was a shock. On one day a month or so ago, I read that 4 vaxed pilots died…on one day. All relatively young. And since all pilots have to undergo regular fitness tests for obvious reasons, this was a huge red flag regards vaxes.
That they were flying told me they were definitely jabbed. The mandates by the airlines had been effect for a couple of months. But that story disappeared as quickly as it was made public. And that it did just verified for me the vaxed was responsible.
That is terrible. How many planes will fall out of the sky while a pilot is having a heart attack? People on the plane die in the crash and people on the ground that get hit by plane debris die, not to mention any fires it might cause, or chain car wrecks on a highway, the scenarios are endless.
C’mon, get with it! “Science” and all that, ya know?
It is unbelievably terrifying. I don’t know if these airlines are liable for the vax caused deaths of pilots if they require it for employment. I’m unclear on that legal aspect. But they would be definitely be liable for the deaths of their passengers should the worst happen.
I wonder if the CEOs have thought of that scenario.
They’ve received so much stimmy money from the govt they will do what they are told. That money does not come without strings attached. Note the sudden cancellations of flights during Christmas Eve and Christmas. And you thought it was covid.
A West Jet flight was diverted back to Calgary when the pilot had a heart episode onboard and had to be treated in the aisle while the flight returned to an airport.
https://www.sgtreport.com/2021/12/westjet-flight-diverted-after-pilot-suffers-medical-emergency-requiring-defibrillator-covid-shot-effects/
That list is suspect.
Verification needed.
I gave you the source. See what i wrote above.
It is in an airline dedicated industry mag, a screenshot of which I’ve seen and which has been made public. I doubt seriously that info is false…names, pictures of the pilots, dates of service and deaths. I don’t doubt it is real.

The booster shot was never about reducing symptoms.
The booster shot was about trying to maintain the lie that the vaccine could prevent people from contracting and spreading COVID.
That lie was the basis for all vaccine mandates, and it completely disintegrated this month.
That’s great. When will we see these mandates rescinded?
Probably when h€|| freezes over. Not the town in Michigan either.
Cuz that Hell freezes over all the time.
When billions awaken to the fact they took a poison pill. It’s really a depressing dilemma. All we can really do is watch from afar.
https://thenationalpulse.com/2021/12/26/ny-times-editor-49-dies-one-day-after-moderna-booster-shot/
I can’t really give a damn when a virtue signaling guy like this has an adverse reaction.
On a recent podcast with Matt Gaetz, Rep Thomas Massie revealed that he called Mount Vernon to find out if there was more information about the assertion by some that General George Washington imposed a smallpox vaccine mandate on his troops. The historian confirmed that Washington had his troops vaccinated. When Massie asked her if Washington took the vaccine, she said Washington absolutely did not get vaccinated. Washington previously had had the pox and had natural immunity. Washington had men vaccinated only if they had not already had smallpox. Naturally-acquired immunity.
Episode 20. Interview @ 19:20. Pretty good interview.

Big difference between a “real vaccine” and the spike-protein-DNA altering-genetic cocktail being currently pushed on humanity.
I have been saying this since day-1; “Masks do not work”, “Vax will not work ” and “Lockdowns are a farce”. It is all about Power and Control which is underlined by money. It is all starting to crumble at “Warp Speed”.

U.S. Navy warship remains in port after COVID-19 breaks out among ‘100% immunized’ crew
Wouldn’t a large number of those sailors have been recently injected with the new FDA approved covid product? That would imply the vax is useless.
…or worse.
Worse.
When will people begin to say – hmmmmm, I wonder if all these “vaxxed” victims are sick because their immune systems are faulty? What will it take for this question to be obvious???????
A big fat BINGO…..exactly!
Pain, pain on their doorstep. And he needs to happen quick. Not sure we can last much longer when such a huge swath of the population is pretending their way through reality.
“You can ignore reality, but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality” Ayn Rand
I wonder if all these “vaxxed” victims are sick because their immune systems are faulty?
And we’re only 6 to 8 months into seeing effects from the jab.
The fully brainwashed will never ever see it and if they do, will never admit it.
It is becoming obvious as of right now.
Only to those of us who are paying attention. I don’t think that those who are vaxxed will consider this harsh reality.
If the msm doesn’t talk about ADE, the sheeple will never know about it.
They will keep feeding the sheep new reasons why they aren’t working – “Pandemic Stress”, new variants, global warming/climate change, Trump.
the question is when will the sheep catch on.
A little insider info. A friend who works at a hospital stated last Wed and Thurs request for Rona test skyrocketed. Like by X4.With pcr dialed in a positive is just about guaranteed. That means 10-14 days off, just in time for holidays.
Direct hit.
I think CDC just reduced the time of quarantine to 5 days. Businesses need their workers!
Only two days if you’re a good quarterback….. “science” 🙄
Wait whut? So this is the deadly dark winter except we need our workers so bring them all back? So are they contagious or aren’t they contagious?
I think the vax is doing exactly what it was intended to do. In fact I would suspect by the speed at which it was rolled out it had been pre planned. It may have indeed been tested quite possibly the Uighurs could have played the role. That’s pure speculation on my end.
There’s only 2 ways this went down. Either you have a completely rush untested gene editing crap or the scenario above. Neither give me much comfort.
If everyone is continuously sick, then they cannot vote in person in the the primary. And if we do *that*, we must have mail in voting for the fall election. And if COVID is still around in 2024, we’ll be counting mail in then too. It is only fair after all to give everyone the right to have their vote counted if they are too sick, or even quarantined for suspicious of being sick, to vote in person.
Your simplifying. Military personelle can be ASKED, but not mandated, to take an experimental EUA treatment,….but;
they CAN be mandated, to take an FDA approved treatment.
However, no one can sue, for adverse effects from EUA treatments, but they CAN sue, for adverse effects from FDA approved treatment adverse effects.
SO, the DOD lawyers argued that because the EAU medication being administered to troops (required to take) was “essentially” the “same ingredients” as the ingredients in the FDA approved treatment, the troops COULD be forced to take the vax, rather than just invited to.
The judge called “bullshit” and said quit pissing down my leg, and telling me its raining (in effect) saying putting the EUA vax, in a label marked “comirnity” doesn’t cut it.
Even assuming there are any vials, anywhere in the U.S., with such labels.
At least, thats the judges ruling that I read, from memory.
The military can be ordered to take a drug under an EUA, but it requires a presidential waiver to do so. But yes, the DoD has been claiming that the two Pfizer jabs are identical and therefore legally interchangeable.
For the lawyers and justices Treepers, does this set any type of precedent? Can those forced into taking the shots sue or can their estates(if the worst has happened) sue the employers?
No. The FDA approved product is called Comirnaty. There isn’t any Comirnaty available yet. That’s why the FDA extended the EUA for the BioNTech vaccine that’s been given since day one. BioNTech is Pfizer’s German outfit. A federal judge hearing US service member’s request to stay the military vaccine mandate has confirmed these things.
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/military-members-seek-new-injunction-against-covid-vaccine-mandates/
U.S. military members involved in a lawsuit challenging the military’s COVID vaccine mandate on Dec.10 filed an amended complaint seeking a new injunction after a judge last month rejected the U.S. Department of Defense’s assertion the Pfizer-BioNTech and Comirnaty COVID vaccines are “interchangeable.”
“The plaintiffs have shown that the DOD is requiring injections from vials not labeled ‘Comirnaty.’ Indeed, defense counsel could not even say whether vaccines labeled ‘Comirnaty’ exist at all.”
The vax is by no means useless if you are a depopulationist.
There is no FDA approved product available In the United States. All Covid jabs currently available in the US are available under an Emergency Use Authorization only.
Authorized for emergency use only.
Kind of kills the narrative that the vaccine isn’t working because of the unvaccinated, huh?
At some point everyone vaccinated will envy the unvaccinated.
And when the jabbed crawl down into their shelters, there will be plenty of shocking memories …
Yeah, but….but…but…that’s….that’s from FOX NEWS! so it CAN’T be true! (says the flaming progressive)
Same headline Trump is President, they would not be so kind. Investigations would be called for, impeachment next. What a Differnce the press makes.
True insanity would be the left following through on the “trial balloon” threads suggesting that Buttigieg is a prime candidate to run for President.
In the words of Marcus Aurelius – “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding ourselves in the ranks of the insane.”
If you remember Pete Dukakis, you’ll know this will not fly.
Buttigieg, as a candidate, is irrelevant. If FBO and associates can place a “doormat puppet” (aka, FJB) as a puppet, then whoever follows is irrelevant. They can even place “heels-up-Harris”; what is the difference?
Didn’t he try that once already?
Buttigieg is still trying to figure out how to humanly nurse his twins. His first improvisation triggered the young ‘uns gag reflex. 😳
Mine Too!
I return to my tiresome refrain (forced upon me by conservative dogma) that progress is not inevitable.
Travel has always, always been difficult and dangerous, and will remain so.
Those areas of the world that, in fact, do not welcome visitors, like Egypt, will remain difficult and dangerous places to go. Poor people will never, never welcome rich visitors.
My larger theme is that middle-class travel is doomed. Certainly not the fantasy of middle-class travel to exotic lands. And exactly why should it be welcome? Try that one on.
I agree, except poor people DO welcome rich visitors when they benefit from the visit. I personally have zero interest in travel to any of these “exotic” places, as I have traveled quite a bit all over the world. International travel is often dangerous, risky, very expensive, fatiguing, confusing, and can be disappointing. The best part – for me – is reinforcement of how much I love the USA!!
By middle-class travel I meant people who expect foreign countries to be Disney theme parks.
The Venetian hotel is targeted at people who find Venice too, you know, old.
And not enough people speak English there any more either.
Totally agree!
Poor people welcome Rich visitors, the ones who will spend gobs and gobs of money in their country.
Not the middle class Americans who want to go some where and expect it to be easy, quick and cheap.
Traveling in a third world country and trying to really get some where is not easy, quick or cheap.
And it is not always accomplished in a comfortable auto with air con, a radio and power steering or even a car that was built in the last 25 years.
And the roads are not always like our six lane freeways with gas stations and bath rooms every 45 miles or so.
Like you say much of this travel is expensive, fatiguing, not very clean and you really must have a need or a good reason to be doing it, like a job to fulfill for a client.
I remember PDJT saying at some point (I can’t recall why, maybe on the heels of the outbreak here) how many wonderful places there are to visit right here in the USA. It tickled me. He is so right!
You are so right Raptor.
I worked and traveled in the middle east a lot starting in the early 1970s.
It was bad back then especially for females and it is still bad now.
The media does not like to tell people how it is, it is not really safe and women must be very careful in these countries especially Christian western women who think they can wander anywhere they please.
Customs, laws and ways of doing things are different in countries but so many seem to think it will be just like home but different.
I have not been to the ME in 9 years and will probably not go back in my life time, it is becoming far far too dangerous for me.
My point, I’m afraid, Chloe, is that in the long run, travel will prove to be unreachable for most people. The absurd fantasy that travel into outer space will be attainable for the upper-middle class is an example of what I mean. The first tourist trip to Mars will be hell, and will be the last.
Marco Polo made a round-trip to China that many had made before him, and for centuries. That arduous trip remained elusive for centuries after. You can certainly make difficult and dangerous journeys. The difficulty and danger never abates. As a conservative I recognize this. Let foolish liberals ignore the truth. It’s what they do best.
If Federal solutions are not involved, where is the authority for:
-vaxx mandates
-vaxx passports
If corporate fascists impose these, on what basis do they claim to do so?
If ever there was a winning campaign issue, the GOP would make opposition to these a mandatory talking point for all candidates. And yet…..
Because according to GOPers, corporations can do whatever they want – citizens be damned along with their individual rights to bodily autonomy because covid. Ever seen a company require a flu test for work? Nope, me either.
Especially popular with the libertarian wing, I think.
No, but many require drug testing. Requiring a vaccination is only a short step drug testing….
Ostensibly, drug testing is to determine if you’re putting something illegal into your body that could impair your performance on the job…
Requiring these vaccines is your employer forcing their will on your body in violation of your medical freedom and potentially harming your general health… And it has nothing to do with your performance…
Worlds apart in a sane world… But I take your point that, in this FUBAR world, they are but ‘short steps’ apart…
Yes. Many hospitals and doctors’ offices BEFORE covid required a yearly flu shot.
My experience: I forgot to get my anual flu shot, but on the day of the deadline, I received an email from HR telling me I had until noon to get the shot AND provide proof to the HR office or they would cut off my computer access to all hospital portals, databases, etc. (I worked from home at the time.)
Hospitals and doctors’ offices have been tyrants for a while, covid ripped off their mask. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: if you can, stay away from hospitals and limit your doctor office visits as much as possible.
Forgot to mention: PRE-employment requirement was to show proof via blood draw that I was vaccinated for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, etc. I had my shots as a youngster, so I was fine, but many medical facilities will NOT even think of hiring you if you do not prove you have been inoculated.
Re: the above–I always thought the flu shot was a joke, never needed it for the 46 years of my life before I started working within the medical community, which has become a dangerous joke for the most part. Covid really opened my eyes to the corruption, kickbacks, and incompetence within medicine like never before. Never going back……
Much obliged for your input, Rose 🙂
If FJB had a solution…
SURELY
he’d tell the “corporate fascists”…
Right
I wouldn’t look for the Calvary just yet. There’s about one man that has the fortitude to speak to the truth. He’s currently the governor of Florida. Some of the GOP is corrupt and some are probably flat out scared. The enemy has unlimited resources. We are in need of some divine intervention I hate to say it but it’s the truth. And it can’t come soon enough. We are in a war of attrition. The enemy is trying to wear us down and we are trying to outlast. I expect them to come at us pretty hard in 2022.
“There is no federal solution.” ?? I thought the mandates were the federal solution. Are they going to argue to the USSC that without a mandate they can’t implement a federal solution? What a circus.
That was my first thought: the corporations/companies have all been enforcing stuff because “they had no choice”–the feds were forcing them to do it.
And now, all of sudden, the feds are saying, “Whoops. We made a mistake. The things we’ve been forcing on you and threatening everybody with since last September are not relevant. They are not a solution. Forget about that. Sorry for any inconvenience.”
This is just amazing.
Once again, the things the left actually does and says are FAR worse than anything I would have made up and claimed they were doing.
It’s nice to see them so thoroughly exposed. Corporate offices are calling meetings today and spitting nails and wondering who to be mad at.
You are witnessing Trumps very simple plan: Just sit back in the weeds and let them destroy themselves. Have you ever seen anything run by Libtards who are void; rationale, judgment, commonsense succeed?
I said this long ago, there will be a time when people will be begging for Trump’s return. I am now hearing it from ordinary people everyday.
I’m willing to let them destroy themselves, as long as they don’t destroy the rest of us in the process.
An excellent point.
The problem is getting people to believe what they don’t want to believe. I am the only member of my immediate family of 24 people who is non-vaxxed. No one can ever label me of being a salesman. Lol
Unfortunately, they are destroying the rest of us.
It’s that little prayer folks mutter at the gas pump:
“Oh God, I wish Trump was president.”
Think of the employee backlash as well as voter backlash from all the people who anguished over the vax for work. Cops, firefighters and medical personnel. They are not going to forget what democrats put them through.
Yes, except that there were some very large employers who jumped the gun and began requiring employees submit to “vaccination” prior to any federal mandate. If memory serves, Walmart and Tyson ran with it rather early.
Also, The Methodist Hospital system in Houston and surrounding area. They were the ones who decided that it would be a good plan to fire bedside healthcare providers if those persons weren’t vaxxed by a certain date.
The Biden/Obama Philosophy:
Get away with as much as you can for as long as you can.
Hey, it 60+% of us jabbed….
I would venture ti call it the Bush-Clinton-Obama-Biden Philosophy!
This airline travel mass cancellation mudslide looks like a pilot anti-jab mandate sick out like the one that happened with south West Airlines in October 2021.
Yep: brother is a pilot. Forced vaccination a couple months back. Called in “covid sick” for the holidays and headed for the beach with family. Between the horrible airline management, flight attendant karens and the increasingly rude, unruly passengers–not to mention having to pack his own food in his carry on because hotel room service is often unavailable–he said screw it. He worked Thanksgiving and wasn’t going to give them Christmas/New Year’s too.
Total F…last seen flying over DC with a toddler strapped to his chest…
Has he pronounced omicron as rayciss yet?
Everyone exposed to the mightycron quarantines for 2 weeks. Everyone is exposed to it. Figure out the result.
Stop testing and the covid magically disappears 😉
The rules of the game have been set and people are going to play the game. 2 weeks off work. Yippee.
Deleted by BD…
As a self employed person I needed this comment to explain what is going on… thank you. This makes perfect sense. The employees are saying f’em and getting 2 weeks of paid sick leave all at the same time.
“No federal solution”. Ok FJB you need to scrub the new OSHA regulation and let companies follow their own decisions in “protecting” their own employees.
The companies should just butt out, they’ve caused enough problems in this country. Why test people who aren’t sick? Why quarantine people who aren’t sick? Ever seen a company test for flu or colds? I never have.
Same goes for OSHA. Just butt out, you’ve caused enough problems with JoeBamaLa’s instructions already.
Unless my job requires regular exposure to threats to my health, it is not my employers’ responsibility to “protect” me.
A very smart guest on the 7pm Fox show hosted by Katie Pavlich said if their is no federal solution to Covid, there should be no federal mandates. No vaccine mandates, no mask mandates, no vaccine passports, etc.
Maybe the long lines for testing is actually part of the sick out. “I think I have it so I better get tested. And in case this one comes back negative, I’ll get tested again.” Positive test equals 5-ten days off over the holidays.
hehehe…
BOOM! There’s one answer to Sundance’s testing question!
This is the year my kids and their families make treks to the in-laws for the Holiday’s. Told them rent cars NOW and I will help pay the outrageous 1-way drop charges if needed…just to hedge their bets.
Both families on Southwest headed back to Love Filed in Dallas. Nothing from Southwest, yet.
Both also have in-laws living at the 1/2 way point in 14 hour drives so…that helps if needed.
Traveled yesterday on Southwest from Savannah into Love Field…everything very smooth… plane on time…no issues.
Thanks for the good news. We still have to sweat it out until Friday afternoon, which is their return date.
My daughter flew in to LAX today for two days; could not find a rental car so is using Uber.
I wonder what all the pilots, fa, mechanics and gate staff are doing on unpaid leave. Seems Southwest didn’t cancel any?
20 inbound Southwest flights and 15 outbound flights into/out of Reno, Nevada were canceled on Sunday.
“There is no federal solution.”
A result of no federal leadership.
A result of a fraudulent election.
FUBAR!
The DSP and their MSM political action committiees who have again made a stinking mess because “they” have no connection with the American people.
Is Butti still on furlough “chest feeding”?
I think hes looking for racism under bridges or at truck stops or something.
Its clear, to me at least that Biden and the airlines worked hand in glove to intentionally wreck Christmas for thousands of Americans. Deregulation of the airlines put affordable air travel within reach of millions of Americans that otherwise couldn’t afford to fly previously. But has flying become more efficient? Has the level of service along with employee pay scales spiraled downwards ? Most importantly should greedy children be allowed to run airlines?
So far from what I’ve read, you’re the only one on this board that got it.
Omicron’s (symptoms like a cold) quarantine period has been dropped to 5 days….????
I wonder why….?
There has to be a suggestion (however remote) of some possible risk or folks would simply go about their lives making individual choices as they see fit (sans gubmint)…
Can’t have that
/s
The Omicron is nothing more than the flu.
The “ Vaccine “ is the virus.
Everyone I personally know that has been injected with their poison is suffering from minor to major health issues right now. Everyone.
Yes… and they are shedding too. I have to boost my vitamins after hanging out with the vaxxed.
I worked in the airline industry for 21 years. Resigned because I wouldn’t get jabbed.
Yesterday, I talked at length to a friend of mine still working as a supervisor at O’Hare. He told me they cannot get enough employees to show up for work. If they feel in any way sick, have a cough or fear they might have been in contact with someone with covid, they should stay home.
In other words…they now have unlimited sick time with zero consequences.
What could go wrong?
The airline I worked for is overly staffed with lori lightfoot voters. Last time I checked the Legacy airlines were being subsidized by YOU! The good old American taxpayer!
Catching on to the game yet?
Zero consequences is the Chicago way. Excuses for all.
I can’t imagine the stress of modern airline travel, especially with this fiasco.
Stagecoach in the 1850s would be less traumatic. Plus individuals would have more travel comfort. And could travel with their pups.
And their bottle of booze.
I think I’ll go out in the pasture and shovel some honest to goodness real cow manure because the fake stuff they’re spewing at us is terribly unsatisfying.
and it smells a whole lot better 😉
Of course there is a “federal solution”, viz. mass distribution of ivermectin and hcq. But because it will not generate profits and power, the solution is off the table.
Likewise, illegal immigration. The solution is a wall and prohibiting the hiring of illegal aliens. But again, that will not generate power and wealth. So…throw up hands and throw open the border, then claim to be working on the root causes.
What about drugs? Gosh the war on drugs at the onset was highly successful, but it interfered with the acquisition of power and wealth. So it had to be hobbled and hamstrung, and ultimately misused so as to increase…wealth and power.
The war on drugs was to raise prices on the street while allowing Bush/Clinton cabal in tandem with the 3 letter agencies take over most of the import racket in the US. (Mena, Barry Seal etc)
reduce competition + maximize profit.
Actually if they introduced either now they could be world wide “heroes” who cured the rona and could run on that for the next 100 years but there isn’t a lot of $$$$ in it beyond the usual grift. So it won’t happen
There’s nothing like a little cold to bring the country down to a slow crawl.

Biden: No problem. Calling the CDC right now. We got your back. Never mind the science.
Sick out, and a good time to do it. Nothing more.
No mention of the thousands of employees that they forced out… Funny bout that.
So, the City of Seattle, in all of it’s self-righteous pride fired all of their employees who were not jabbed as of October 19th, including almost 100 police officers from their already depleted ranks, along with 70+ Firefighters, and about 10% of the DOT workers…now, they have dozens of vaxxed workers sick with Moronic, and they have “suddenly” decided to allow workers to come in, wear masks, and socially distance, as long as they are not showing obvious symptoms and don’t “feel sick” even if they have a positive test result!! You know, all the things all of the fired employees proposed in their accommodation hearing but were told were NOT acceptable options!!
If I were one of those employees, I would go in where I could say it loudly, with everyone hearing “SHOVE your accomodations! Best thing ever happened to me was quitting here, rather than taking the Jab!
I’m going to FLORIDA; PAY raise, signing bonus and great weather!”
I think quite a few did just that, but it is still probably grounds for a wrongful termination suit regardless, IMHO, since two months ago the city stated emphatically that those options were NOT safe, and now suddenly, they are adopting them?
And for vaccinated people who actually have the virus vs unvaccinated people who do not have the virus.
Exactly!! This was always about getting “needles into arms” – it was NEVER about anyone’s health and I think more and more people are finally waking up to that fact!
There must be no money in it or the lawyers would be lining up IMHO
An slight uptick in cases? I think it’s more likely to be people calling in sick so as to stay home for, rather than work on, Christmas
This would be the first year for that…..
Who flies anymore? I’d rather have a root canal.
Well, I do. I travel to Europe once or twice a year and enjoy it enormously. Other than the PITA of the mask, no problem. Flew home on KLM the other day and they did not enforce the mask mandate on the trip home once airborne. Portugal was great. Little to no sign of covid craziness there. Open and free, like my home in rural Texas. Nice folks. Spain was good too. I have not and will not take the clot shot. <—-period.
Then how were you able to get into those countries without proof of vaccine? Please let me know since I need to go to Ireland but refuse to get the clot shot.
Each country has different requirements. Portugal is easy, just show up with a negative test taken within 48 hours of boarding. No vax required. Same for Spain if you fly in. Drove into Spain never stopped. Never knew anything was going on other than a few masks here and there in the cities. The food was great as usual. This State Dept. website has all the different countries and their requirements worldwide.

Good luck going to Ireland, They are cra-cra, but it can be done unvaxxed, if you are willing to quarantine upon arrival. Sounds bad but enforcement is nomimal and if you are going to a specific place and staying (like relatives home),you will be fine. Travel around, not so much until after quarantine.
I will add that everywhere I have gone during the plandemic , there has been very minimal enforcement almost everywhere. People everywhere are tired of this crap and on the ground it is not as bad as the media and uninformed make it to be. Safe travels.
What are the requirements to get back into the US?
This website has all countries and their individual requirements.
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/COVID-19-Country-Specific-Information.html
You can get into several European countries without vax. Just a negative rapid test no more than 48 hours before departure. Portugal, Spain, Croatia, once you arrive you are totally free. It was great.
Ireland is particularly difficult. Without a vax a quarantine is required. Good luck. It sure is pretty there.
Thank you for that very useful information!
Sorry for the double answer. It’s a long story…..
Root canal less pain and quicker.
Microchip implants to track vaccine status now a reality. In Sweden. In Austria, hired ‘hitmen’ are hunting vaccine ‘refusers’ as if they are criminals. Not to mention what has happened and still is, in Australia.
We only fly on Mexican airlines! Awesome!
Axios: Fauci wants to “seriously” consider vaccine mandate for domestic flights.
https://www.axios.com/fauci-vaccine-mandate-domestic-flight-coronavirus-f9d7d6bc-1952-4e3f-8aa9-4cd9921f43ec.html
They’ve been waiting on this one, it’s going to happen. You want to see your children, get the booster. You want to work etc. But we’re not forcing you, it’s your decision.
The industry will implode.
Can we just consider a vaccine mandate against FauXi instead? 😉
IS it what they say it is?
Last time, they blamed cancelled flightsvon weather, and it was a “slow down” as a responce to employee mandates.
Suspiscious cat is,…well SUSPISCIOUS.
If it IS due to Omicrom, they SHOULD be back to work in 3-5 days, and being immune shouldn’t be having covid issues cause flight cancellations any more.
bidet’s America.
Every time there United Airlines cancelled a flight, they always cite weather conditions. Seems they have trouble with rainy weather. Of course we all know they were waiting to fill the flights because of cancellations. More than once especially Oct-Dec 2018 I have had every to or from flight cancelled with updates of new ETA – eventually one gets on late in the evening from all the cancellations of a 11 AM flight – because of weather. Their wokeness and harassing or removing passengers without masks, not having masks on when they were eating or drinking, harassing parents with children for not having masks on heir kids, etc. Firing their staff or staff who left. Like me, I stopped using those airlines since then. That’s a 3-year period they have not had any bookings from me because I switched. They have never been inclined to fly with even half a planeload, since they have been losing more business. Guess this latest staff excuse is a newer way than the old worn out it’s too rainy excuse.
American Airlines does the same thing; every other airline is departing, but American is delated due to weather.
Yes Southwest too. That happened to my sister.
I think that when the airlines cancel or postpone flights to weather, they do not have to refund or replace your ticket, nor do they have to pay for accommodations for passengers who are delayed into the next day.
If the cancellation or postponement was due to mechanical delays, etc (essentially, something the airline was at fault for), the airline is then on the financial hook to get all passengers new flights, etc.
If mother nature is the culprit? No harm, no foul. You eat your ticket and you are on your own for figuring out how to get to your next destination. Those who fly more often than I can confirm or deny, but this has been my experience when I used to fly….
They should have to prove that it was weather.
Buy a horse and some good shoes.. think I’ll take my camper out while I can still get gas..
Imagine all the crap that the people of the world have endured these past 2 years………..
Loss of loved ones
Unable to visit loved ones
Loss of business
Loss of job
Lockdowns
Mask mandates
work mandates
massive travel disruptions
and so much more
Now imagine IF this whole thing turns out to be a Plandemic? A Virus created by man to use for political power and control, regardless of the death and destruction it might cause?
So how pissed are 7 Billion people going to be if this proves to be true?
If? Lol.
They may be pissed. Many already are, (me and probably you). I fear that nobody is gonna do anything but grip until it is far too late, (fast approaching). We are far too civilized to do anything beyond home self defense. Other Americans are too ignorant to know they are losing their freedoms and some are for it. IMHO. Most seem to think we will fix this with elections. Maybe, but doubtful. Communists do not take no for answer. They lost to Trump so they F-ed up his term and then cheated us in the next election. Now this plandemic and all its ridicules sub-plots. It is amazing Trump got so much done with so much opposition. Immoral and godless opposition.
What do you mean “if”.
This thing has been scripted from the start. We are infested with treasonous scum at all layers of the Federal government.
BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND. TRY AND HANG ALL THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED.
Leave the bodies hang as bird feeders.
I believe a full scorched earth policy will be slightly more effective.
“The modern left has to be destroyed on such a scale as their dangerous ideology is reduced to burning embers;”

If?
No if. No but. No maybe.
This is a plandemic.
But the good news is that it is not going to plan.
However you have gotten something totally wrong. (Has someone been watching too much Establishment Misleadia?)
7 billion people are not going to be pissed off.
The majority of the world’s population is just like me: unjabbed and loving it!! The jabbed are the minority.
No doubt too many planes being used to transport illegal aliens.
At the Walmart in my town I have come across 2 female employees who do not speak one word of English…..they only speak Spanish. No doubt they are illegals.
We have an uptick in Afghans being hired that don’t speak English. Put them in the Food Lion.
A perfect opportunity to get Christmas off with the family for once.
Yes. I called in sick. Never took a test.
Screw it.
I know 8 vaccinated with covid right now. So if most of the airline employees are vaxed they are panicking their vax mandates are crap.
Insert punchline: it would have been worse (Cymbal crash).
We aren’t panicking. We’re taking Christmas off because we’re sick of the abuse.
The seasonal flu was told to take a holiday & let Covid take its place for a while. The flu said it will happily infect you again after full-blown communism has been successfully implemented.

Omicron is a cold!
And yet there have been almost 54 million cases of Covid, supposedly, in the US per Worldometers over nearly two years.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
Even if it is true that the ‘rona killed off the flu, so to speak, people are freaking out over one flu-like diseased that replaced another and running all over getting tested.
How many people got tested for the flu?
Omicron is nothing; what is wrong with these people ?!!
They’ve been infected with the Moronic virus.
This is really funny.
There has been a photo sign on the major road saying: “Drive through Covid Testing” the sign pointed to a road behind a local, large, generic Christian Church. For months I have driven by this sign several times a week and Never, ever saw anyone turn into that lane, figured nobody cared anymore. TODAY: Lines down the street this am and no end in sight. Tonight the line is still trailing down the main road waiting to turn into the testing lane.
it must be magic!
Retired former airline CEO says he no longer listens to Fauci because of too much misinformation.
Right under the title of the video is a notation “Unlisted”. What’s that?
Isn’t life on earth just like hell right now. We are at war, not a conventional war but a war of the mind. What if all this is a ‘white hat’ operation so everyone is finding out just what life under Socialism/communism, is like. It’s hell isn’t it. Trump and the good guys will be back soon to lead us out of this hell and hopefully people will realise all this will have shown people just why freedom is worth fighting for.
Now we are seeing what Biden meant about “Dark Winter”.
The worst part is Biden said, “Winter of Death” and a couple days later announces that everybody is on their own.
Trump = Warp speed.
Biden= Warped Brain
Trump 2016 rally cry: Lock her up!
Trump 2024 rally cry: Lock them up! (Entire Brandon administration.)
You can’t wait until 2024 and simply watch the election be stolen again. The 2020 steal must be cured and reversed. Otherwise there will be nothing left. Nothing.
Precisely. What will be different in 2024?
I hope everyone realizes something nasty is coming.
Here’s the board as I see it. Omicron is going to flood
the hospitals that are already understaffed. An Ebola outbreak starts over on the other side and makes its way here. People can’t go to the hospitals, so the government opens clean sites. To get in you need the vac…
You need to undergo constant health screens, that’s what the biosensors in the vaxx will be used for
People will flock to the camps and willingly take everything they are given.
The gov also gets to say that the hospitals would never have been overrun of more people had gotten the shot…
The hospitals are already flooded with those that failed the IQ test of SARS-CoV-2 as they demand testing to see if they are sick as they have no symptoms and suffer from no known ailment other than “FeAr” from propaganda.
Maybe it’s wise not to give them any ideas
Omicron is not going to flood anything.
‘Omicron is going to flood the hospitals that are already understaffed.’
Positive PCR cases are going to flood the hospitals. The PCR test doesn’t detect viruses, so it is incapable of diagnosing a disease caused by a virus. GUESSING is not science.
You should look into the testing done upon being admitted to the hospital. They’ll test you even if you come in for an appendicitis attack and have NO covid symptoms. Test positive, they call you a case and stick you in the covid ward, which has a limited number of beds. This is how hospitals get ‘flooded’. But don’t worry, they’re well paid for even the bogus cases.
My big fear is Marburg, a cousin of ebola. 88% fatality. Said to be stored at Ft. Detrick.
“The worst part is Biden said, “Winter of Death” and a couple days later announces that everybody is on their own”.
Can you imagine right after the Pearl Harbor attack if Roosevelt had told the Country; “Hey you People, you are all on your own and every person for themselves”. Lol
….. Can you imagine that after Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt told the Country; “Hey, Americans, you are on your own and it’s every Man for Himself.” ….
Yes, we can. And can picture the speed with which a President-Donald-John-Trump-style of leader would have emerged and would have organized the scores of millions of volunteers into actually winning WW-2. Rather than having traitorously given our European Theater victories to his Uncle Joe and the Asia-Pacific effectively (by his effective empowerment) to the monstrous Mao) –and millions of innocents, as the consequence, into slavery and/or death.
As did the traitor: Roosevelt.
