Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
With all the circular finger pointing, is there any consensus as to why the delays and cancellations are so widespread?
If the airlines were not ramped up yet to meet increased demand, why on earth were they lobbying so hard to have any remaining restrictions removed? They obviously can’t begin to handle it. Did they really not see this happening? I guess not.

How do you log 7100 miles?
Coast to coast is like 5k miles right?
Over what period of time?

It got me to really wondering whether travel insurance paid up if a flight was canceled due to flight crew unavailability. Definitely a question I'll ask, since that is happeneing everywhere this weekend. Does anyone know?
I'm leaving for a tour of E. Europe in early August and returning (God help me) on Labor Day. Staying overnight in London both ways, I hope that provides some slack in case something goes wrong.
People I know that went on group tours seem to have had no issues- here or abroad. Do you think tour groups have less problems then individuals who book flights?
We have had a few outstanding small group tours, but in general we avoid them like the plague, preferring to travel on our own.
Instead of cancelling 10% of their flights day by day, why can't someone make them cancel 10% of their flights indefinitely, starting tomorrow, and continuing until their act comes together? They'd drive the price up so they won't lose money, reliability would improve, relief and backup crews would be more available, etc.
The system is really stressed. That kind of stress causes distraction, mistakes, and accidents.
Yesterday I went to the Dublin airport 6 hours in advance. Luckily my flight left at 3pm which is a less busy time than between 4-7 am. At 6 am the line was out the door. I flew to Dallas and that’s when the trouble started. I was supposed to be home by 9:30 pm and got home at 12:30 am. I got the pleasure of having my terminal changed 3 times so rode the skylink which was very easy. I was up 26 hours so am exhausted today. So very grateful to get home on a holiday weekend.
To the poster that referred to tourists as locusts in Nevada we appreciate the money they bring in plus when I travel I don’t consider myself a locust. Yes they cause crowds.
