This exactly. But it was the only way they could destroy Trumps economy and level the playing field for quid-pro-Joe.Quote:

So today one of Chicago's airports is closed because they don't have enough staff in air traffic control due to COVID infection.
Think about that. And then think about manufacturing facilities, which by definition can't be done from home.
It won't hit everywhere at once and peak infection rural areas and smaller cities could be a full month behind. So hopefully we have enough overlapping production that no single area will be knocked out at once.
I can tell you there are very serious people not influenced by the news who are planning with charts that show peak periods for cities across the country.
We could see ripple impact past the end of May in supply chain stuff. Doesn't mean I think we'll be starving or fighting in the streets, just that disruption will occur. And people who are not planning for it or worse flaunting the very idea.
I hope the flaunters are right and they get to laugh at us. Worse case I'm well stocked for a bit. If they are wrong?
Not true...Quote:

Faa has contingency plans in place for tower closed situations.
Good to hear. And that they have contingency plans. I hope it's such that it's cross regional, etc.Quote:

As to aviation impact, airline industry is already screwed, but will get giant bailouts due to strong lobbying. And also Boeing and similar will be hard hit, and probably also get bailouts.
Web double tap
KLAS, Las Vegas McCarran closed its tower as well. The airport is still open, just uncontrolled. Different protocol for uncontrolled airports vs tower controlled. I have flown into and out of KLAS so many times I lost count. It would be eerie landing there with no clearance.Quote:
