Now your Uber ride or meal service delivery can include alcohol delivery too — the popular ride sharing group has added “DRIZLY” drink delivery to its service options — Uber bought DRIZLY for just over a Million Dollars and now includes “adult drink options” as part of its food delivery menus … just another easy option to encourage folks to stay home?
New Federal mandate says you MUST wear a mask if you travel on a plane, train, bus, or public water transportation — let’s all “kick” the virus and move on!!!!
The CEO of Delta Air Lines has announced that the carrier will permanently ban passengers who disrespect fellow customers or crew. CEO Ed Bastian laid down the law in a memo sent to employees, and shared with Fox News. The executive revealed that the airline has already added over 800 people to its no-fly list for refusing to wear mandatory face masks during travel, along with news of the company’s latest policy.
… to have COVID vaccines to insure passenger and fellow employee health safety? It looks that way — would be a massive undertaking “worldwide” but would help build travel and workplace confidence with travelers — and employees … expect implementation sometimes in March!!!
Maybe — the airline has notified 14,000 employees not to be surprised — when government pay check protection dollars run out in April — and American may not be far behind with employee layoff notification about the same time!!!
American hits $9.5 BILLION LOSS for 2020 …..is a comeback possible???
Yup — a family of 20 (10 adults + 10 kids) were tossed off a recent American flight from Salt Lake City to Hawaii – via DFW — apparently a couple of the kids were wearing their masks below the nose along with one adult who was wearing a very “slim” mask. AA later rebooked the group on a Delta flight to Hawaii — which leaves to question the “why” for the entire no fly incident in the first place?
Maybe — the current administration is doing initial groundwork to explore the potential of requiring domestic air travelers to pass a COVID test prior to any travel — this might be on airport “quick” tests or testing 3-4 days prior to any travel. Although there are benefits from such a program, air carriers see this as another “kink” in bringing passenger traffic back to semi-normal.
TSA says “travel is way down” … with US numbers in January hitting a new low of less than 470,000 a day — this is the first time since last July the numbers have fallen this low — looks like it fall even more prior to end of March -April Easter holidays!!!
Future worldwide air travel may focus more on “freight services” than carrying passengers — freight is easier to operate and takes less people — in the 60’s and 70’s planes were outfitted to carry both passengers and freight where now only passengers take up space!!!
