Canceled flights, weather delays and lost baggage continue to plague airlines as they scramble to meet demand post-COVID.
Houstonian Chris Gordy says he and his wife ran into problems on a recent trip to and from Ft. Lauderdale.
“In the Uber at about 4am on the way to the airport my wife gets a text your flight has been canceled. But no explanation was given on why the flight was just canceled,” he says.
“Every plane rode on was fully booked, but it seems like they're not equipped and ready for a 100-percent return back to air travel.”
He is not alone. Thousands of disgruntled airline passengers have taken to social media in recent weeks. Many complaining they had to wait for pilots or entire cabin crews.
Josh Verde is a retired airline pilot turned attorney. He says carriers have been caught with their pants down as the country emerges from COVID.
This leads to the poll question this morning.
