Basically. I flew into atl at and a total of like 4 airplanes were moving. Delta was essentially grounded. It happens. This is hugely embarrassing and sad, But eventually this will get worked out and the black eye will heal… it always does. It’s just harder for Nk because the reputation is fragile to say the least. We will be just fine. And if this scares you away from coming here then do us all a favor and don’t
The difference is the percentage of total flights cancelled and the time to recover. This event is pretty much unprecedented and there has yet to be any real explanation.

I wouldn’t say unprecedented. This is at least third of this level that I’ve seen.

Love the news in FLL knocking on Ted's front door.

Ted conspicuously absent to us and the media. Bendo updating his resume with yet another bullet point detailing Podcast prowess along with running an airline into chaos.

Jetblue was about 24 hours from closing its doors because of that. It was really bad.

The fact we haven’t heard from Ted is borderline Dereliction of duty. Not that any one man can untie this knot but I think as a leader it’s pretty crazy we, as employees haven’t heard anything. I have faith in most of our management, Ted included but this silence has been deafening. In professional sports, a performance like this would result in a mass firing and this isn’t football, it’s people’s livelihoods. Meltdowns happen and always will .. but if I don’t do a go around on unstable approach or fail a check ride I get held accountable .. that’s part of the job.. perhaps someone in the C suite should get held accountable too … the board is watching Ted .

Ha, no, just letting you know it came out. It shouldn't have been so late.
