Pure perfection in this video
As a former air traffic controller for nearly 20 years I can tell you this is BS! There can’t possibly be a controller shortage. Replacements would be in the pipeline to replace retirees long ago. You just don’t suddenly find yourself struggling to replace people. The FAA has meticulous records of every single controller on duty and they know without doubt exactly when each controller will be eligible to retire from the day they are hired.
Sorry EGGS? Give me a break they are always cheap. Chicken is UP. Fish is UP.
Just stay home. Call your relatives
I would have expected less people traveling. I never travel on holidays because it is the most dangerous time to do so. Also, more likely to run into delays and lose luggage. Be careful for extremist everybody.
