Airlines reported over 1,000 cancelations across the United States by Wednesday afternoon with over 2,000 flights coming into, leaving or traveling within the US delayed. That is more than triple the number of cancelations reported the same time the day before. Over the holiday weekend, a whopping 14,000 flights were canceled across the United States, leaving passengers stranded at airports overnight.
Air carriers blame the backlog in flights on rising demand following a lull during the coronavirus pandemic as staffing remains strained due to mass COVID-19 fueled layoffs. Pilots, though, are claiming that airlines are overscheduling them to meet the increasing demand for travel.
Captain Dennis Tajer, a spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, is now calling for the Federal Aviation Administration to investigate the airlines' operations.

No mention of Biden’s vax mandate causing worker shortages, naturally.
