    Clarifying, Justice Jackson issued a 48 hour administrative stay pending the First Circuit's ruling on a substantive stay.

     

    so they stayed the order to feed people for two days? and then...?

    Something isn’t right about this video. Either full AI or a touch up.

    it does seem odd/off... but apparently he really has issued an order for plans? 🤔

    omg i hate so much that we can't trust anything or any source anymore and every little blurb and story and clip requires spending at least 15 mins trying to suss out if it's even fucking real 😝 like i almost don't blame the idiot class for believing bullshit, it's ubiquitous!

  3. ok i ventured to the actual USDOT site...i can find no mention of force majuere or 'acts of god' or even weather, but it does clearly say if the airline cancels or changes a flight more than X hours that you are still due a refund.

    i don't love how much emphasis is placed on the airline canceling as i can see them trying to claim 'well we didn't cancel it, that Real World dude did' but again... at this point we can just hope.

    im sure it will be a shitshow regardless 😕 but hey, maybe he'll start flinging serious shit at the Republicans this week and force them to...do something lol

     

    also...random thought i had last night... maybe the airlines could create a fund and all chip in to pay TSA/ATC in the interim 😆 i wonder what the financial impact of that vs. absorbing 10% canceled flights would be 🤔😄

    we've got flights to PR the week of Thanksgiving... i'm not expecting a refund from United, but if this thing drags on and flights are legit canceled, won't they at least have to give a credit?

    I'm pretty sure the current administration rolled back the Buttigieg era consumer protections, so I'm not sure what they'd be forced to do, if anything.

    i know they rolled back a lot of Pete's policies but surely they can't just take your money, cancel your flight (force majeure or otherwise) and not give you anything...?

    Google AI gives this...

    who knows if accurate but i guess ill just hope it is for now 😕

    Our Thanksgiving return fare isn't refundable--and I'm guessing airlines aren't going to do a damn thing to recoup their customers--but how much is our time and frustration worth.
