Joe “I am the Democratic Party” Biden and his incompetent administration issued a controversial, but as yet not official as no rule has been released, WuFlu vaccine mandate on businesses with over 100 employees.
Many businesses were thrilled and immediately began, if they hadn’t already, enforcing the non-mandate. Thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of Americans have thus far been fired as a result, and in all sectors from health care to K-12 education to the airline industry.
Wildly unpopular Biden and his bumbling administration are attempting to conflate “anti-vaxxers” (a misnomer to begin with) with Americans who reject invasive central government mandates. There are many vaccinated people who reject the mandate, and this is a problem for the Biden buffoons.
Another problem? Beyond destroying the lives and livelihoods of thousands of Americans (none of whom is likely to dash to the nearing polling place or mailbox to vote for more of the same next year or in 2024), the loss of employees is creating huge holes in companies that keep our economy and way of life afloat.
From transportation, to health care, to education, to first responders, to . . . well, you name it, gutting an already thin workforce through unnecessary mandates is hobbling an already Biden-weakened economy and is creating shortages, more inflation, and a whole new wave of very angry American voters.
The shortages have apparently affected Southwest Airlines. In the midst of mandate-related lawsuits brought against the company, they reportedly cancelled up to (or over) 1,800 flights.
The company blames Jacksonville, FL air traffic control (which is allegedly having its own problems with anti-mandate employee walk/sickouts) and the weather. Oddly, though, no other airline that services the same areas as Southwest ran into the same significant “weather” or “air traffic control” problems and merrily continued ferrying their customers across the U.S.
ATC issues and disruptive weather have resulted in a high volume of cancellations throughout the weekend while we work to recover our operation. We appreciate your patience as we accommodate affected Customers, and Customer Service wait times are longer than usual. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/o1scQJ5lLb

Oh, and the blame also goes to “military training,” according to the FCC, which we all know routinely interrupts commercial air traffic. Or something. Yes, they really think we are that stupid.
No FAA air traffic staffing shortages have been reported since Friday.
Flight delays & cancellations occurred for a few hours Friday PM due to widespread severe weather, military training, & limited staffing in one area of the Jacksonville en route center.
(1/2)— The FAA ✈️ (@FAANews) October 10, 2021
There is apparently a “meltdown” at Jacksonville International Airport that has led to the cancelation [sic] of more than 1,800 Southwest Airlines flights. The company says the cancelations [sic] are due to weather and “air traffic control issues.”
Well, the claim that weather is the culprit is absurd. Other airlines, according to the respected aviation site One Mile at a Time, are operating at near capacity.
- On Saturday American canceled 66 flights (2% of the schedule), Delta canceled 16 flights (less than 1% of the schedule), and United canceled 11 flights (less than 1% of the schedule)
- On Sunday American canceled 63 flights (2% of the schedule), Delta canceled three flights (less than 1% of the schedule), and United canceled six flights (less than 1% of the schedule)
- On Saturday, October 9, 2021, Southwest canceled 808 flights (24% of the schedule) and delayed 1,154 flights (35% of the schedule)
- On Sunday, October 10, 2021, Southwest canceled 1,007 flights (27% of the schedule) and delayed 120 flights (3% of the schedule)
Speculation centered on air traffic control employees walking out because of the vaccine mandate.
And it really is speculation at this point, but it’s odd and worth noting that the weather, Jacksonville air traffic control staff shortages (due to . . . ?), and (purported) military flight training exercises didn’t impact other airlines. Airlines not currently being sued by their pilots for vaccine mandates.

More Info Surfaces On Southwest Airlines Flight Cancellations and Pilot Push Back Against Vaccine Mandates
The biden regime mandate has no legal teeth. They know a federal mandate would not stand the test of legally constitutional. The entire purpose of the mandate speech was to initiate a forcing function on the part of “threaten” corporations or small sized companies with a set minimum number of employees.
This has the DNA and fingerprints of the obama regime all over it, think about it for a moment.
FDA Mandates Calorie Counts for Restaurants, Coffee Shops, Convenience Stores Nationwide
https://www.eater.com/2014/11/25/7280221/fda-calorie-counts-restaurant-menus-us-america
This entire totalitarian regime has the stink of Obama all over it. Idiot Biden is carrying out the Obama agenda of terminally weakening the United States without having his name attacked to the dictatorial aspects and, if (when) it fails, he’ll be nowhere around.
If everyone thought the inability to get food and paper products during the past 18 months, just wait as Biden’s ignorance shuts down much of the services in the country. Few people understand that during the Clinton administration effort to contract Federal services, much of the Federal installations are run by companies with more than 100 employees. Watch as employees push back!
What’s the problem? Just get the National Guard and some wetbacks to be pilots, air controllers and aircraft maintenance mechanics.
Don’t forget how we got here. Biden inherited Trump’s pandemic, Trump’s tax cuts, Trump’s skyrocketing deficits, Trump’s delusional followers, and Trump’s seriously bungled Afghanistan endgame. He inherited a long-neglected rise of Chinese military ambitions, because our full attention had been on the Middle East for two decades, and Trump’s reality-television fantasy that North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs had been somehow dealt with. He also inherited the unceasing animosity of the propaganda-driven right-wing media, and a right-wing social media apparatus with direct feeds from Qanon crackpots and the Kremlin.
It was China’s pandemic, you idiot liar. CHINA’S, the same China that corrupt idiot Biden will not investigate and hold accountable. Trump capably faced the epidemic here without any help from China, the WHO, CDC or Democrats and he got ventilators build and the PPE replaced (which Obama burned through and left the shelves empty). Trump handed idiot Biden an epidemic that was under control and three vaccines. This stupid, incompetent moron, idiot Biden, has bungled every aspect of the epidemic and has had MORE die under his watch than Trump.
Using the epidemic as an excuse, Democrats loaded up desperately needed aid packages with trillions of dollars of wasteful pork. A workable plan, which had the Taliban on hold, was left for idiot Biden to benefit from, but, as he does with everything, idiot Biden DESTROYED it, resulting in the most embarrassing military and humanitarian disaster in history… and it was totally self-inflicted. Trump faced down the Chinese but, since they BOUGHT idiot Biden, the Chinese show no respect for US military power whatsoever. North Korea stopped nuclear testing and firing missiles. Because idiot Biden is a weak, pathetic idiot, they have resume missile tests.
All this because idiot Biden is a weak, incompetent, lazy, ignorant, debilitated moron and the entire world knows it.
Hundreds More Southwest Flights Canceled Monday After Brutal Weekend as Pilots Fight Covid Vax Mandate
Things are going to get far worse before they get better.
this is just the beginning of the mess that the pedophile and his nugatory administration has created. expect more pilots and air traffic controllers to walk out out along with support staff: mechanics, flight attendants and more.
in a similar manner the pedophile’s noting a dishonorable discharge of all military who refuse the vax. it is obvious that he, this handlers and the woke media have no idea of military law. A dishonorable discharge requires the occurrence of a felony, a formal court martial, verdict, judgement, sentence and discharge. refusing the vax is not a Felony…it is obvious the FJB does not get the picture. the T shirt is great….
Where have you been? When has the law, Constitution or respect for human rights dissuaded this corrupt regime from doing anything that furthers the pursuit of a totalitarian police state.
You’re so observant. How did you miss Trump’s disregard for the law and his repeated attacks on all institutions of constitutional democracy?
Even now, Steve Bannon believes he can disregard a congressional subpoena because Trump told him to. Trump cites “executive privilege”, as if he were still Chief Executive. Prominent GOP leaders are still enabling this lunatic.
Either Trump goes or American democracy goes. It’s as simple as that. This isn’t about Joe Biden. It’s all about the existential threat of populace mob leader like Donald Trump.
“How did you miss Trump’s disregard for the law and his repeated attacks on all institutions of constitutional democracy?” I guess I missed it because it never happened. Never once did Trump disregard the law or attack an part of the Constitution. In fact, Trump restored respecting the Constitution, which Obama had trampled repeatedly.
Democrats ignored subpoenas when called before Congress for hearings about the IRS fraud, Benghazi, Hillary’s emails, the phony Mueller “investigation” and numerous other issues. Therefore, there is really no reason for anyone else to respect subpoenas because the legal system has been completely abrogated by Democrats.
Democrats are the existential threat to our republic and the Constitution. From election fraud to the institution of a totalitarian police state, Democrats threaten every aspect of our government. For instance, we currently have an Attorney General that has declared parents that merely voice disapproval of teaching racism and anti-science who has a son-in-law that sells the illicit material being taught. We have the son of that guy pretending to be president peddling adolescent “art” at exorbitant prices as a money laundering/influence peddling scheme. That same son still holds investment holdings in China.
All of these, or some version, were used as false accusations to undercut the last duly elected President we have had. In fact, EVERY accusation you and the rest of the mongoloid Democrat party are reflections of what you yourselves are doing or have done. That’s not hyperbole; it is a provable fact.
Of course it happened. It’s happening now. Bannon is defying a congressional subpoena because of Trump.
just in from SWA:
DALLAS, TX—A spokesperson for Southwest Airlines has announced delays in flights due to strange weather that seems to pass over competitors’ planes, only affecting their own signature blue and orange aircraft. The airline has stated these delays have no connection to their pilots protesting vaccine mandates.
The spokesperson then announced a new Southwest Airlines incentive program for potential passengers: All flights, domestic or international, are free to any passenger who is vaccinated and can also fly a plane.
“The requirements to take advantage of these incredible savings are simple,” said Southwest CEO Bob Southwest to a crowd of customers who have been stuck at the airport all weekend and were frothing at the mouth in anger. “Show us proof of vaccination against COVID-19 and promise us you know how fly commercial airliners, and your flight is on us.”
The CEO then mentioned other skills that were not required, but beneficial: Experience calming herds of rabid, sleepless passengers, expertise in flying through mysterious, invisible weather events, and the ability to land the plane.

JUST IN: Governor Abbott Bans Vaccine Mandates by ANY Entity in Texas
Governor Abbott is a horse’s ass. People are dead because of these idiots. COVID could and should have been behind us now.
“Governor Abbott is a horse’s ass. People are dead because of these idiots.”
I believe you are confused and meant to say Governor Cuomo. How many died because of Cuomo’s EOs?
“COVID could and should have been behind us now.”
I thought you knew a lot of “science.” Have you never heard of mutation?
If you understood the science, you would know mass vaccination greatly reduces the incidence of mutation.
We wouldn’t have the variants if idiot Biden had kept our border closed. Political science, not medical science is what guides Democrats who could not care less who dies as long as they can exploit the misery.
Variants that don’t originate here to begin with most likely arrive by way of international air travel. The virus mutates constantly wherever there’s an infected population. We only become aware of mutations that cause noticeable changes in the illnesses they cause, or in the pattern of transmission.
Referencing the border is another example of how the right has politicized COVID. Politicization has resulted in millions of Americans refusing vaccination and common-sense pandemic measures. Related anti-vaccination propaganda and the posturing and resistance of certain republican governors has done FAR MORE to prolong and spread the disease in the United States than any number of undocumented aliens.
The Delta variant originated in Brazil. What’s the likelihood it came right up across our border? Highly likely, I’d say, and we have the idiot Biden to thank for it. Well over 2,000,000 illegal immigrants have streamed across, both catch and release and the got-aways. 20% are infected. They are distributed across the country without regard for spread or tracking.
Now, either unvaccinated and infected people ambling about among the population is a dangerous, infectious, deadly situation or it isn’t. So, which is it, scooter?
Democrats politicized the epidemic with deadly effects. Democrats, not Republicans.
Actually greggie, real vaccinations do reduce incidences related to mutations. The MRNA is not a real vaccination. It only has the capability to handle the original disease, not the mutation. Vacations are when a reduced effect of the disease like measles is given and the body produces antibodies to fight the disease when contracted. MRNA produces only antibodies that are short lived and very specialized. Did you ever ask your self why you are always wrong? Maybe you are always wrong because you always use democrat talking points.
The COVID vaccines remain highly effective at preventing hospitalization or death from Delta.
Yeah
Guess that is why many people vaccinated have contracted the virus and died.
Good one there
That some people die of infections after receiving antibiotics doesn’t mean that antibiotics don’t work. Claiming that it did would be a stupid statement, wouldn’t it?
greggie, if you understood science, they you would know that the MRNA is not really a vaccine, at least until the ODO changed the definition. If it is so effective, then why is Vermont who is 90% MRNA “vaccinated” having such high levels of COVID? Why are MRNA inoculated people still able to spread the COVID 19 while those who developed natural immunity do not? You know nothing except what the politicians tell you to say.
If the vax gave immunity, yes.
This isn’t polio.
It’s a cold.
716 thousand Americans have died due to COVID in 21 months. Polio killed 3,000 during its worst year.
No one engineered polio to kill. No one in this corrupt regime will hold those who formulated this virus accountable.
You need to get your stories straight. Was it “engineered to kill”, or do “99.3% of people who get the CCP virus survive” and “have t-cell antibodies 20 times stronger than the current vaccines”?
As of October 18, COVID-19 has resulted in the deaths of 727 thousand in the U.S.
Which includes flu deaths, gun shots, car accidents, cancer and heart disease deaths. Idiot Biden is a massive failure and “shutting down the virus”, but of course, we all knew he would be. His incompetence is why so much fraud was required to shovel him into control.
From Mar 7, 2020 to Aug 20, 2021 there were 788,460 more deaths in the U.S. than the statistical norm. 614,640 COVID-19 deaths were reported for the same period.
These statistics support the assertion that the actual number of COVID-19 related deaths in the U.S. most likely EXCEED the officially reported number.

BIDEN’S SO-CALLED VACCINE MANDATE That Jeopardizes Millions of Jobs Doesn’t Exist…”It’s All A Mirage”
Americans against the COVID jab are panicking, as the tyrannical Biden regime demands employers with 100 or more employees threaten their workers with taking away their ability to pay their mortgage or put food on their table unless they submit to the jab.
100 Percent Fed Up reports – There’s only one problem with the Biden regime’s so-called mandate—it’s nothing more than a press release delivered by a blustering, senile figurehead bolstered by the Democrat Party’s dishonest mainstream media
There’s been no official position on employers firing workers over refusal to get the COVID jab
Congress hasn’t voted on the mandate.
Biden hasn’t signed any executive orders demanding that hard-working Americans be fired if they resist the jab.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted about the scam, calling Biden a “dictator” and reminding everyone that there is no federal law mandating the vaccines. She wrote, “We never voted on it because it does not exist.” She added, ” There is also no rule under OSHA that allows for companies to be fined for not mandating vaccines.”
Scientist and author James Lyons- Weiler tweeted about the OSHA final rule:
Word to the wise: The OSHA Final Rule has not been entered in the Federal Register. If you are an employer and you are enforcing vaccine or test mandates, you’re wide open to lawsuits for damages, lost wages, and psychological distress. It’s a Guidance, meaning it’s non-binding.
Joy Pullman of The Federalist wrote about the scam on October 7- Yes, we’ve heard all about Joe Biden’s alleged vaccine mandate for private companies employing 100 or more people. It was all over the news even before he announced it on September 9. His announcement has jeopardized the employment of millions of Americans and increased worker shortages in critical domains such as health care.
There’s only one problem. It’s all a mirage. Biden’s so-called vaccine mandate doesn’t exist — at least, not yet. So far, all we have is his press conference and other such made-for-media huff-puffing. No such rule even claiming to be legally binding has been issued yet.
That’s why nearly two dozen Republican attorneys general who have publicly voiced their opposition to the clearly unconstitutional and illegal mandate haven’t yet filed suit against it, the Office of the Indiana Attorney General confirmed for me. There is no mandate to haul into court. And that may be part of the plan.
According to several sources, so far, it appears no such mandate has been sent to the White House’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs yet for approval. The White House, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Department of Labor haven’t released any official guidance for the alleged mandate. There is no executive order. There’s nothing but press statements
Despite what you may have been falsely led to believe by the media fantasy projection machine, press statements have exactly zero legal authority.
“There is nothing there yet that gives employers any mandate,” Stephanie McFarland, spokeswoman for the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration, told me on Oct. 6. “The president made an announcement on this asking OSHA to do it, but we’ve not yet seen anything come from it yet,” she also said.
To impose the public perception of a mandate, the Biden administration is following an unusual rule-making process it also employed earlier this year, called an emergency temporary standard (ETS). The spring ETS rule took nearly six months to issue. Meanwhile, companies are telling reporters their vaccine mandates will have at the latest December deadlines. (For those who can’t calendar, that’s four months after Biden’s non-existent mandate was proclaimed. According to OSHA, an ETS takes up to six months to go into effect after the initial mandate is issued in the Federal Register — which, again, for the proclaimed 100-employee mandate hasn’t happened yet.)
The National Law Review reports – On September 9, 2021, US President Joe Biden announced a multipronged plan to increase the number of Americans who are vaccinated for COVID-19. In the plan, titled “Path Out of the Pandemic: President Biden’s COVID-19 Action Plan,” the Biden administration provides for multiple regulatory and executive order-based means to encourage or require vaccination in various workplace settings.
Specifically, some form of vaccine mandate will apply for employers with 100 or more employees; for most Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regulated workplace settings; and for some federal contractors, as well as all federal executive branch workers.
OSHA will develop a rule (known as an emergency temporary standard, or ETS) that will require all employers with at least 100 employees to ensure that each member of the workforce is either fully vaccinated or, for those who are not fully vaccinated, require such workers to produce a negative COVID-19 test result on at least a weekly basis before coming to work. As announced, it appears that the impending OSHA ETS will permit employers of 100 or more employees to present an option to all workers to either vaccinate or test (workers would be able to select either option).
Employers should note that in June 2021, OSHA issued a different ETS imposing various COVID-related requirements on solely healthcare industry employers. The anticipated ETS requiring vaccination or testing has not yet been released as of the time of this article. Employers should exercise caution when researching requirements under “the OSHA ETS” to avoid referencing inapplicable regulations.
So, if there is NO law or executive order, why are workers being threatened? Have small businesses in America with 100 or more workers been duped into forcing their employees to accept a COVID jab against their will? Are America’s corporations so ignorant that they didn’t even question the validity of the so-called mandate/press release? Or are American corporations so tied to federal funding from the same hard-working taxpayers they’re threatening that they are simply going along with the Biden scam to keep COVID relief money flowing into their coffers?
Where’s the mandate for illegal aliens to get a COVID jab? Or is it the Biden regime only interested in targeting hard-working American citizens?
You seem to be confused about the scope of Biden’s mandate. Illegal aliens aren’t government employees or contractors. BUSINESSES are imposing mandates. SCHOOL BOARDS are imposing mandates. HOSPITALS and HEALTH CARE FACILITIES are imposing mandates. That isn’t BY ORDER of President Biden. It’s what those entities have themselves decided to do—to protect their employees, the public that they deal with, their businesses, and the economy that they depend upon.
Biden has STATED that they should so, but he can only order what’s within the scope of his authority as Chief Executive of the federal government.
The right is pretty much angry at their own straw man. They’ve been sucked into their own propaganda and politicization.
Over inflated all along. 99.3% of people who get the CCP virus survive, have t-cell antibodies 20 times stronger than the current vaccines.

‘Fully Vaccinated’ Are COVID ‘Super-Spreaders,’ Says Inventor of mRNA Technology
Podcast here:
Southwest Airlines Is Collapsing – A Glimpse Of The Future And Hope
Joe Biden’s federal vaccine mandate is toothless. He cannot make it work. He cannot enforce it, and so the federal government has tried to ‘back door‘ a national vaccine mandate by pushing corporations to do their dirty work. Maybe the feds can’t really order you to take the jab, but if they can prevent you from earning a living without the vaccine, they can achieve the same objective.
It seems simple enough and strangely fitting for a government that is increasingly indistinguishable from giant multinational corporations, Big Tech, and the oligarchs that run the entire enterprise.
Except, a funny thing is happening. The people, those Neanderthals clinging to their Bibles and guns, who are supposed to do what they are told, pay taxes and fight the corporate wars are pushing back. Deserted by their elected representatives, who answer to their corporate masters, average Americans are refusing to comply.
Take a look at Southwest Airlines, and you will see exactly what this new civil disobedience looks like. You may also see the future.
The White House has pressed the airlines to adopt vaccine mandates using the leverage of federal contracts. United knuckled under first and announced a vaccine requirement. Southwest recently announced its employees had until December 8, 2021, to get vaccinated or lose their jobs.
The pilot’s union for Southwest Airlines responded to the mandate by filing suit and trying to block the action, but the pilots themselves are not waiting for court action to make clear where they stand. They have started using vacation and sick days and refusing to show up for work. Other employees have followed suit.
The entire airline has been brought to a standstill. The pushback began Friday when a grand total of 3 out of 35 employees showed up for work at the Jacksonville center. Almost every flight out of Orlando had to be canceled. Almost 50% of Southwest pilots remain unvaccinated. There is no indication that any large numbers are moving to get the vaccine. As bad as things are, they are going to get a lot worse.
Over the weekend Southwest canceled 1900 flights. As of the time this article was published it had already canceled 365 flights for Monday, and 600 more are “delayed.” Southwest Airlines is effectively shut down.
Southwest Airlines’ stock fell more than 4% on Monday when trading opened.
Southwest Airlines is continuing to maintain that there is no work stoppage in progress and blaming cancellations on mythical weather problems or air traffic control issues. The pilot’s union is keeping silent because any official action on its part would likely be considered illegal. In reality, their position is largely true. Pilots are not calling out, because they have been ordered to do so. They are calling out because they have had enough.
Southwest pilots are drawing a line in the sand. They, like so many other Americans, are done with the creeping tyranny, and they have grasped that in Washington no one is going to stand up for them and push back. It is time for citizens to act on their own.
https://twitter.com/AllegianceTL/status/1447381142261403650?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1447381142261403650%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fandmagazine.com%2Ftalk%2F2021%2F10%2F11%2Fsouthwest-airlines-is-collapsing-a-glimpse-of-the-future-and-hope%2F
This is the beginning, not the end. Other airlines are already reported to be seeing the same issues as Southwest. Those issues will expand. Rumors are swirling that United pilots may join the “sickout” any time.
Amtrak just announced the cancellation of several scheduled trains, because personnel are not showing up to work. The expectation is that such actions will spread.
Across the country, in recent months there has been an increasing number of “walkouts” by various professional groups protesting vaccine and mask mandates. These have all been designed to bring attention to the issues at hand. The Southwest action and those that will follow it are fundamentally different.
This action by the Southwest pilots is not designed to attract attention. It is designed to use economic leverage to compel Southwest to change course. The pilots are not saying they want a conversation. They are saying that if Southwest does not change its policy, they will destroy the company.
In 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama Rosa Parks, a black woman, refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white person. When Rosa was thrown off the bus the entire black population of Montgomery stopped riding the bus. They made up 60% of the ridership at the time.
Within a matter of months, Montgomery’s Jim Crow law about black people sitting in the back of the bus went away. Turns out dollars that come out of the pockets of black people are just the same as those that come out of white pockets. The bus company folded.
This is where we have come to today in America on issues of personal freedom. The Oligarchy thinks it owns us. Our “representatives” seem unable to act on our behalf. Increasingly, it is now up to us as individuals to simply refuse to comply.
Southwest Airlines is on the verge of collapse. We are seeing a glimpse of the future and of hope.

Maintenance personnel are laying out, too. Periodic maintenance is driven not only by hours on the aircraft, but time, too. So, as aircraft sit idle, the clock is ticking on maintenance items that are probably already synchronized with the flight hours maintenance items. In other words, aircraft or equipment will have to be sent out for maintenance and recertification at times when the aircraft is not already down for maintenance. These companies that decided to suck up to idiot Biden (yet ignore how much gratitude idiot Biden showed for the Afghan guide that saved is worthless life) are about to kill themselves.
Let’s go Brandon.
I heard the day before yesterday on Bannon’s Warroom, a guy who is connected say that in the past, a plane that might have a maintenance issue of a very low level would continue to fly. It appears now that these “general” maintenance issues unrelated to mechanical flight related, are grounding planes. And with reduced maintenance staffs, well you get the picture…
https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/10/12/huge-emails-show-joe-biden-could-be-ensnared-in-fbi-investigation-into-hunter-n455847
There are all sorts of games they can play. You can’t argue with flight safety.
Exactly, why maintenance personnel could ground a plane because it is time to clean the upholstery. The with limited personnel, well that plane can not fly and flights are cancelled…
