Weather was fine. Everyone who lives here in FL will tell you that. Yes, we had thunderstorms, but I live near a small, municipal airport, and there were all kinds of small, private aircraft in the air during those storms. You'd think if it was storm realted, a private pilot wouldn't be in the air, bit a professional pilot would be. What I haven't seen a whole lot of, is commercial flights. I also happen to live under some major flight paths in/out of FL, specifically the paths out of MCO and MIA. The planes are usually at altitude or quickly climbing by the time they get over me, but I haven't seen too many this weekend. Flights are picking up today, but it's still not what I would consider "normal" traffic.
yes we have flights up until hurricanes are a legit threat and right in the area. the storms we had the past couple days were quick moving and not severe.
Yeah but I think these bigger companies get away with it, especially ones that contract with the military. My friend is about to be laid off for this reason, she refuses to get the jab. I heard they already laid off a few people, but she found out that almost half the company (at her location, they have a few locations) refused to get the jab, so what did they do... they pushed the date back a little over a month.

Well I guess the media will just have to say bad weather for maybe a lot longer than one day! This should be fun!
I think florida of all places would know how to keep airport ops going during a tstorm. They happen literally every day

I thought in florida vax mandates were illegal? Story is confusing due to that variable.
Air traffic controllers are FAA, federal so I think that makes it different.
Thank you, that makes sense.

The mandates DeSantis put out are against State, County, and City employees and contractors.
in florida, mandates are only illegal for businesses/venues to impose on customers. businesses can still impose them on employees.
Thank you for the clarification.
