How hard is it to deplane and let the passengers chill in the terminal? I'm sure there was an open gate at the airport that the plane can be pulled into for 20 minutes, unload, pull the aircraft to a parking spot to fix, and then load up and go. Lazy planning.



Yep, this should be what happens after 30 minutes of waiting. Every time.

one size doesn't fit all when dealing with delays but the main reason for not immediately letting everyone off to "chill" in the terminal is that everyone typically scatters like ants, don't stay in the area, and don't listen to PAs, the delay would be compounded by the extra time it takes to round up the cattle and those that missed the flight because they left the area would end up starting threads on here about how shitty the airline du jour is

The problem, is that the airlines/airports are built to operate at maximum efficiency, for the most part. Not many unused gates. Well, the plandemic, biden bucks, and the government mandated freezing of the economy completely fricked with people's will to work. Now, we have an ever increasing entitled youths who think they deserve x amount of pay, despite having no skills, no experience, and no work ethic. Those are the people we are relying on to fill some of these manual labor positions. This generation, however, doesn't want to do manual labor, but expect to be paid more than the grounds crew at an airport.

So you take the government shutting down the country for months. Then you take the government paying people to stay home. Add that to a spoiled generation of entitled twats. Now you have people who won't work, because they are expecting handouts for sitting on their arse. They see government trying to forgive loans for no reason other than vote buying. Where is the incentive? There is none. As been told for decades, this form of socialism/government welfare always results in recession.

And, this isn't only at the airlines. Every ancillary business that works with the airlines. Every business and industry in general are having the same issues. We still have YEARS of this before the economy can recover, and people going work is the norm. But, as long as you keep voting for the Biden's of the world, it just delays the rebound.

In the meantime, we get thread after thread of kids fresh out of school bitching because they can't afford a 400k house.
