Anyone got any flights coming up in the next few weeks? What are the delay and TSA situations like right now at US airports?
>>2837788I voted for this
>>2837788I’m gonna kms. Hopefully I can get out of here successfully Sunday morning.
I have a flight to France in two weeks lol. Hopefully I get refunded if it gets cancelled but I expect some shenanigans.
>>2837790I'm fucking off to Asia for the next couple weeks this Sunday. If SHTF by the time I come back for Thanksgiving then I might fly to Montreal and take the bus down from there instead
https://www.flightaware.com/miserymap/It’s sporadic depending on how many flight controllers show up at your particular airport on a given day. But it will only get worse if they miss their 3rd paycheck in 10 days.
>>2837788how will they be able to deport people? Was looing forward to using this as a discount way of getting to El Salvador.
>>2837788lol thank god im done traveling for the yeari would be very pissed if blumpf's retarded nonsense impacted my travel
>2025>going to the USEven if it was for business, just do a Zoom call or something.
Didn't Reagan fire striking air traffic controllers and replace the ones who didn't show up to work?
>>2837812There was already a shortage of air traffic controllers. There's no one to replace them with.
>>2837788The government will reopen after the elections today, since the Dems only shut it down to galvanize their base
They won't let flights stop, typical propaganda coming from new networks.
>>2837788Yes. To Japan at the end of November. I'm kinda ready for the thousand year woke reich at this point.
>>2837817>Person in charge of stopping flights says they will stop flights>They won't stop flights they won't let that happen>Flights stopEvery time
wtf is going on?
>>2837788My international departure from America, the united states of is 27 days out. Next domestic flight 13 days out. I'm not stressing too much. Both tickets are booked directly with the carrier. Contract of carriage states that carriers have a legal obligation to get their fare-paying passengers to the destination on their fare. We'll get there when we get there. >>2837813The last flight I was on, the pilot aborted the landing and diverted from the runway on final approach. I looked out the window and saw a bank of cloud hanging over the airport and blocking the pilot's view of a very crucial slice of sky. He made a big circle as everyone gave each other brief anxious looks, then he landed safely after 12:40 airtime. This kind of shit happens when ATC is not on point with their communications.
come on 3 year shutdown!
>>2837788Looks like it started already. All flights out of LA SFO and JFK are suspended starting tomorrow.
>>2837839that was just idiot mechanics. amts are some of the biggest knuckle draggers out there.t. a&p
This is why it's a bad idea to book travel a year ahead of time.
>>2837839Competency crisiseveryone is brain-rottedpeople are being replaced with 3rd world laborno one knows what they are doing anymoreno one cares about the quality of their work And that's everything from fast food to aircraft mechanics to doctors. It's only going to get worse
Lol
>>2838075Unemployment's going up. The bad workers are already being fired. Workers can't afford to be lazy anymore. Recession will fix the problem.
>>2838086Companies are refusing to hire people who have job-hopped too many times. This ensures that workers don't feel free to quit their jobs in search of something better. When workers stay put, wages remain stagnant, even when greedy owners are making record-high profits. The "churn" during the late Trump and Biden years was a business owner's nightmare, because it resulted in strong upward pressure on wages. >"Free market competition for labor? Hell no, we can't have that!"I went from $11/hour in 2019 to $22/hour in 2023. Today I make $20/hour, and haven't had a raise in two years. Likewise, the starting wage at the local supermarket went from $10.50 to $19 per hour before slumping to $17. Thankfully I can still afford to travel overseas, but my travel budget has declined from $50/day to $30/day, significantly reducing the quality and variety of travel experiences I am willing to pay for.
Oh shit https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/us-may-cut-air-traffic-10-by-friday-without-shutdown-deal-sources-say-2025-11-05/
>>2838121WTF
just got this email. fuck my life
I fly out tonight and won't be back until after Thanksgiving when this will all be over. See you later, losers.
>>2838255>wtf my flight got cancelledlol
I am flying Delta with multiple connections to France on Sunday and I'm seriously thinking about cancelling now instead of getting stuck somewhere.
>>2838344lol
Amtrak is so f-ing back
>>2838394get derailed retard
>>2838095>when greedy owners are making record-high profitsThis is a retarded liberal meme because the higher dollar amounts are just from inflation, the percentage amounts which actually matter aren't any higher
>>2838394and cruising
I wish Kamala had won
>>2837793International flights are not affected. So far.
>>2838457International flights have been cancelled and delayed before the intentional reductions. The planned reductions should help international flights operate more smoothly. International flights aren't targeted by the latest round of cancellations because airlines make more money from them than domestic flights. Since both types of flights have the same number of take-offs and landings, international flights make better use of limited air traffic controllers.
just cancel all flights to and from DC.
>>2838407I'm not seeing any higher dollar amounts being offered for any semi-skilled or unskilled labor position. That's the problem. Here in Colorado the wages on offer peaked and then slumped, as other costs began rising faster than revenue and demanding a larger share thereof. These extra charges added to everything are necessary to satisfy investors, i.e. maintain the corporation's speculative value.
Here's the list you need to watch:https://www.flightaware.com/live/cancelledThe destination airport on my upcoming flight has eight cancelled flights which were supposed to be arriving. Three percent of my carrier's flights are cancelled. Yes, there are plenty of international flights being cancelled. KLM has 38 flights currently cancelled, for a cancellation rate of 5%.
>>2838598grim
>>2838598KLM has union problems, nothing to do with the US government.
>>2837788Kek, they're so desperate for tourismbucks that they're advertising on TVTropes
>>2838584cancel their amtraks too because fuck em
>they do it for freeNot for much longer!
>>2837788Should I go to the US in three years or should I never go? I'm afraid of instability or civil war
>>2838875if you're going to do it, do it now. it's only going to get much much worse
>>2838875Just go to Canada or Mexico
>>2838875Just wait three yearsRemember: Nothing ever happens
I'd like to see the US airspace shut down entirely, like after 9/11. If Congress can't fly home for Thanksgiving, that will force them to fix the funding problems.
>>2838394Paying more for a worse service is the American way baby!
>>2838937Most of them have been home for a while.
If there were a government shutdown in Japan, 100% of the air traffic controllers would continue working.
>>2838937also a moratorium on private jet flights, fuck those jewish funded politicians bypassing the plebs waiting in lines
>>2838075You are already part of the third-world. Nobody dreams of going to America anymore. When it comes to innovation, Asia mogs you by a mile. You are huge uneducated retards who are on life-support by perpetually sending bombs on your new enemy of the day to feed your military-industrial complex with fake dollars.It's a global crisis but you burgers manage it with hands full of feces. Nothing will get fixed unless your government stops all the stupid corrupt shit that has been done since Reagan. But you are too proud for that, worse than Thais, you don't want to lose face, so I just hope it won't end up with another nuclear bombing before you learn a bit of humbleness.
DEAL REACHEDSHUTDOWN ENDING TONIGHT
Even if there's a deal is there still going to be downstream effects going into december? Considering a trip to arizona from NY
>>2839049Bull fucking shit they would.
>>2839122Japs actually do their jobs.
>>2839083Next shutdown starts in February
>>2837788>believing that politicians would actually jeopardize their thanksgiving and Christmas holidays L M A O
>>2839058And a good ChingChondDingDong to you too young lady, I get the 38 with white rice and a coke please.
>>2839250>a lot of truth in his post>you'd rather snicker and eat simple carbs with sugar waterPost gut and fat white wife
>>2837788USA’s closed.
My Air Europa flight yesterday from Madrid -> JFK was supposed to land at 6pm, circled around CT for 90 mins before he ran out of fuel and decided to land in Boston to refuel. Didn't land at JFK until 1130pm. Flyovercels were malding they missed their connecting flights. I don't think they're striking as much as slowing down. >>2839052Unironically GA and Netjets takes up a decent amount of ATC.
>>2839083If they reopen the government, the House will force a vote on releasing the Epstein list
>>2839257Incompetence and inefficiency have become the norm in Muttistan. In Istanbul airport I watched the Turkish Airlines plane arrive 15 minutes before boarding time for our flight was scheduled to commence. Everyone disembarked, luggage was unloaded, the plane was cleaned, boarding commenced a few minutes later than scheduled...and we took off exactly on time. I was impressed.
How are the USA to visit overall since MAGA took over? I'm French and my gf is Latina, she wants to visit the US but I'm not sure it's such a good idea, especially with the overall sentiment over Latinos being targetted by ICE.
>>2839752No one will give a hoot. The worst you'll probably get is someone calling you a baguette and saying "hon, hon, hon omelet du fromage escargot le coq, surrender monkey."
>>2839752Highly dependent on where you plan on visiting, just pay attention to american news updates and if you see unmarked vans with the license plates off full of heavily armed men wearing masks, don't overreact, just walk (don't run) in the opposite direction, keep your hands out of your pockets, and whatever you do, don't point your phone at them or you could get shot
>>2839325Meanwhile in Madrid the Air Europa ticket counters were a fucking shitshow with all their international flights at 5 ticket counters and a 200+ deep line. Boarding didn't start until 30 minutes after we were scheduled. At foreign airports you're nearly always guaranteed to waste time at either customs or security. In comparison it took me a hour from getting to JFK to the gate when I left to Rome with zero issues and it left on time.

>>2839852Fly pleb airlines in pleb class, get the pleb experience.
