We’ll get there. This flight was cancelled yesterday for the first time this year. There are only a few flights in/out of Flagstaff daily - 4 on American and two on United. United is dropping their service the end of October. There’s no question it’s a staffing issue, but in fairness, weather ha

They will claim weather, maintenance, whatever. I think it all goes back to staffing. The airlines are running on skeleton crews since the pandemic. All the old guys took retirement and the young guys look at the scheduling and pay and say no thanks. On Mon, Aug 22, 2022, at 21:26, dan penoff.
