More Airline Chaos at Fort Lauderdale airport
2017-05-09
[Sun Sentinal] Flight cancellations by Spirit Airlines due to labor issues with the carrier's pilot's union led to chaos among irate passengers Monday night at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
You racist bastids! I have to be to work somewhere dimmit !
Video posted to social media showed upset passengers confronting airline employees as Broward Sheriff's deputies were on hand attempting to keep order in the terminal after at least nine flights were canceled.

Miramar-based Spirit blamed the flight cancellations on labor negotiations with its pilots.

"We are shocked and saddened to see the videos of what took place at Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport this evening," Spirit said in a statement.

"This is a result of unlawful labor activity by some Spirit pilots designed to disrupt Spirit operations for our customers, by canceling multiple flights across our network," the statement said.

#4  #2 Liberals assure us trains will be better...

Funny you should mention that. My parents (both in their 80s) want to come visit us - they're in Cleveland, we're in Columbia, SC - and it would take at a minimum 22 hours.

There is no return trip possible by ANY route.
