Just spoke with my husband who is a pilot & he said he was supposed to have 3 flights today which has now been decreased to 2. He has no clue what is going on, only what he is "told"
He's been on the phone all morning with crew scheduling with all the changes happening. "Wheels are falling off the bus" is what he says. He is very suspicious as to what is going on. He was supposed to come home tonight but may not make it back until tomorrow, but that has become the norm lately.

All domestic flights were grounded at one point earlier today for the first time since 9/11.

#911

I told him that & he agreed, something not right. I just hope he makes it back home for his few days off that he has until he is supposed to go back next Monday, ugggggggg. He will call back when he can tell me more. He was busy calling his own crew with updates. Pilots & flight attendants can only work a certain number of hours, so if one or more on a crew is past their hours, then the airline has to find another crew. It can go downhill very fast. And he never flies with the same FA crew, very rare.

I was expecting quiet skies but military flights seemed increased. They were up all day (NE FL)....and now doing evening training.
It looks like normal training - P3s, Eurocopters,. It even looked like new pilots because they had to make wide circles. There were more private planes than usual too.
I hope it gets straightened out and he gets home soon - safe & sound.
