American Airlinesâ 1400 Flight Cancelled Therapy Sessions Begin
While the US hits its longest-ever government shutdown, American Airlines racked up nearly 1,400 canceled flights and 250,000 furious customers over a sorry weekend. COO David Seymour, who apparently moonlights as the companyâs Chief Complaints Officer, called it 'simply unacceptable'âwhich is the corporate version of yelling into the void. Flight delays clocked at 57,000 minutes courtesy of air traffic controllers (whoâve had zero pay for over 40 days and increasing sick calls). Meanwhile, Trump offered a $10,000 bonus for the controllers who didnât find an excuse to ghost, promising to 'substantially dock' those who did. Senator Sean Duffy warned that Thanksgiving travel chaos is next level if politicians donât sort their act out ASAP.

If your Thanksgiving travel plan was 'arrive on time,' plot twist: FAAâs 10% flight cut and unpaid controllers say nope. Corporate memo calls chaos 'unacceptable' while politicians perfect the art of snail mail diplomacy.
American Airlines canceled 1,400 flights because air traffic controllers havenât been paid in 40+ days. If only unpaid bills made your paycheck disappear as fast as these flights.
