Newark Airport is Raw! United Airlines Cuts Flights Amidst FAA Fiasco!

Is This Airport Run By Idiots?

Right let's get one thing straight. I've seen cleaner toilets at a music festival than the way this Newark Airport situation is being handled. United Airlines bless their cotton socks are having to cancel 35 flights a DAY! 35! That's like chopping off your own arm to lose weight. CEO Scott Kirby is blaming air traffic control shortages and the FAA's tech which from the sound of it is older than my nan. Honestly it's enough to make me scream 'ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH?'

This is Not Fine Dining It's a Disaster!

Kirby is saying 10% of flights are being cut. 10%! That's a bloody disgrace! Over 300 flights delayed on Friday alone adding to the 1,400 earlier in the week? It's a shambles! People are missing meetings holidays and god knows what else because some muppets can't get their act together. He also mentioned that 20% of air traffic controllers for Newark 'walked off the job'. Was there a bloody fire drill no one told me about?!

This Infrastructure is So Old It's Got Cobwebs!

The FAA in their infinite wisdom claims staffing issues are causing delays. Well duh! It's like saying water is wet. And Kirby bless his soul is begging them to control capacity. Should've done that yesterday mate! Last year they moved controllers to Philadelphia to ease congestion – sounds like they just shifted the problem not solved it! You can't just keep rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic can you?

Where's the Bloody Investment?

Kirby praised the previous administration for vowing to invest in air traffic control. Vowing! It needs more than bloody vows; it needs action! United diverted at least 21 flights due to FAA outages runway construction and high winds. High winds you say? It's not just the wind that's causing chaos; it's the hot air coming from these bureaucrats! Newark is one of the most congested airports in the country. It's a bloody pressure cooker ready to explode!

Wake Up and Smell the Jet Fuel!

The Transportation Department is offering incentives to alleviate these shortages. Incentives! What is this a game show? They need to throw some serious money at this problem not dangle carrots. This has been going on for years and it only got worse during the pandemic. Everyone loves to blame COVID but that's just a convenient excuse for incompetence isn't it?

United Offers a Piss Poor Apology Is That Enough?

United Airlines is waiving change fees. Well that's just sodding brilliant isn't it? As if waiving a fee is going to make up for the utter disruption and disappointment. They need to get their act together the FAA needs to pull its finger out and someone needs to sort this bloody mess out or heads will roll! This isn't a bloody game; it's people's lives we're talking about!
