Now with this vaccine mandate and being forced into double time everyday, I look for a lot of the rampers to walk off the job, Dec 8 or before just adding to their conglomerate of problems. If I were FO I would be more worried about furlough than my upgrade time. I think we are all in for a rude awakening.
If I were you I would worry less about the prices of floods and economic tittering and more about stockpiling food for the end days.
Yes, staffing on the ramp sucks. This too shall pass. It's hard to recruit rampers for crap pay to work outside and get mando'd all the time. Eventually, they will get on top of it. I saw a huge group of new hire rampers in PHX yesterday.
