Flights delayed at NYC airports due to staffing shortage: FAA
By David Propper
August 15, 2022
Passengers traveling from all three major tri-state area airports faced delays Monday night as airline disruptions continue to be a cruel summer theme.
The Federal Aviation Administration warned in a tweet Monday around 5 p.m. that delays could be around two hours at JFK Airport, LaGuardia Airport and Newark Airport. The FAA blamed the issues on “unexpected staff availability.”
“Due to unexpected staff availability tonight, the FAA must reduce the flow of aircraft around New York City to maintain safety,” the tweet said. “Evening delays may be 2 hrs at @JFKairport, @LGAairport & EWRairport. Check fly.faa.gov for updates and w/ your airline for flight info.”

We're hearing about all sorts of staffing shortages, from airports to schools. Where are the people who were working those particular jobs three years ago? Did they all disappear? Were they fired for vaccine noncompliance? Did they die from the 'rona? Are they all at home on the couch collecting gubmint benefits?

All good questions.

Why do I suspect this is due to vax mandates and staff taking normal summer vacays and was actually predictable?
