Kusukela ngo-Ephreli, American Airlines ibinciphisa ukubhukha kwezihlalo zayo cishe ku-85% womthamo wendiza, ukufeza lokhu kushiya cishe uhhafu wezihlalo ezimaphakathi zivuliwe. Kepha kusukela ngoLwesithathu, Julayi 8, 2020, i-American Airlines izogcwala ngokugcwele njengoba izoqala ukuthengisa zonke izihlalo ezindizeni zayo. Lesi simemezelo singene shi enkulumweni yabezindaba ebizinikele kakhulu ezinyathelweni ezithathwayo zokuhlanza izindiza nokubulala leli gciwane.
Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi inani elisha Amacala e-COVID-19 e-United States isifike ku-40,000 nje ngoLwesihlanu olwedlule, i-American Airlines iqeda noma yimuphi umzamo wokukhuthaza ukuqhelelana komphakathi ezindizeni zayo. Isinyathelo se-American sihambisana ne-United Airlines kanye ne-Spirit Airlines ababhukha ngokugcwele, kodwa akuzona zonke izinkampani zezindiza ezivumayo ukuthi lena indlela engcono kakhulu yokuhamba.
I-Delta ivala izihlalo cishe ngo-60% futhi iNingizimu-ntshonalanga cishe ingu-67% kuze kube uSepthemba 30. I-JetBlue ishiya izihlalo eziphakathi nendawo zingenalutho kuze kube uJulayi 31 ngaphandle uma umuntu ehamba nomgibeli esihlalweni esiseduze. Lezi zinkampani zezindiza zinengqondo yokuthi ukudala isikhala phakathi kwabagibeli kuyindlela engcono kakhulu yokunciphisa ubungozi bokusabalalisa i-coronavirus.
I-American, njenge-United kanye ne-Spirit Airlines, ithi ukuhlanzwa kwabo okukhuphuka kanye nesidingo sabo bonke abagibeli ukuthi bagqoke imaski kwanele ukugunyaza indiza egcwele umthamo. Ngokusho kwe-CEO ye-United, uScott Kirby, ukungena komphakathi akunakwenzeka ezindizeni noma kunjalo futhi izihlalo ezimaphakathi ezingenalutho akusho ukuthi abagibeli baqhelelene ngamamitha ayi-6.
Okhulumela i-American Airlines uRoss Feinstein uthe inkampani yezindiza ibicabanga ukubhukha ngokugcwele emasontweni ambalwa manje ngoba amanani abagibeli anyukile. Uthe abaseMelika bazocela abagibeli ukuthi baqinisekise ukuthi abakaze babe nezimpawu ze-COVID-19 ezinsukwini eziyi-14 ezedlule. Ngikhuluma nje akukacaci ukuthi yini abagibeli okumele bayenze, ngaphandle nje kokusho lokho, ukuze bahlangabezane nalezi zidingo
Inyunyana yabashayeli bezindiza ye-American Airlines ithe yethemba ukuthi inkampani yezindiza izocubungula kabusha izindiza ezigcwele futhi esikhundleni salokho yengeze izindiza ezengeziwe zisebenzisa izindiza nabasebenzi abahlezi bengenzi lutho. Okhulumela inyunyana ye-Allied Pilots Association, uDennis Tajer, uthe lesi sinyathelo singalimaza ukwethenjwa komphakathi okuvele kuntekenteke ekundizeni. “Sithukile. Angisiboni isikhathi esibi kakhulu sokutshela abagibeli ukuthi amabhanoyi abangase bagibele kuwo azogcwala ngokuphelele,” usho kanje. Kuchaza uTajer, abashayeli bezindiza kanye nabasebenzi basendizeni kumele bahlale behola kuze kube uSepthemba njengesimo sosizo lwezezimali lukahulumeni, ngakho-ke njengoba iMelika inezindiza eziningi ezimisiwe ngenxa yalolu bhubhane, “Kungani ungavele ufake enye indiza? ”
I-American yazisa amakhasimende uma indiza yawo ingase igcwale futhi izowavumela ukuthi ashintshe izindiza ngaphandle kwezindleko ezengeziwe. Kuze kube manje balinganiselwa ku-4% kuphela abagibeli abathathe leyo nketho, ngokusho kweMelika. Inkampani yezindiza iphinde yathi izovumela abagibeli ukuthi bashintshe izihlalo endizeni uma kunesikhala inqobo nje uma behlala ngaphakathi kwendlwana eyodwa. Ngakho-ke, uma igcwele kahle futhi ubhukhelwe ezomnotho kodwa kunezihlalo ezingenalutho ekilasini lokuqala, awukabi nayo inhlanhla. Kubonakala sengathi okuhamba phambili akukhona ukuqhelelana komphakathi nokuphepha, kodwa umnyombo wezezimali.
Umhlaziyi wezokuvakasha ne-Atmosphere Research Group, uHenry Harteveldt, uthe iMelika “ibeka ngokusobala inzuzo yayo phambili” kwezempilo yabagibeli nabasebenzi bayo, wengeza ngokuthi: “Ukupakisha indiza igcwele ngo-100% ngaphandle kokuhlolwa kwezempilo kuyisinqumo sebhizinisi esiyingozi. . Uma othile ethola igciwane le-COVID-19 endizeni engu-100% egcwele, uzomangalela i-American Airlines. Ukuthi kwenziwa enye inkampani yezindiza lokho akusho ukuthi yisinqumo esifanele sebhizinisi.”
Umenzeli wezokuvakasha u-Brett Snyder ophinde abhale ibhulogi enegama elithi Cranky Flier unombono ohlukile. Ngokusho kuka-Snyder, iningi labantu abahamba ngendiza manje bangabavakashi abazikhethele ukuthi kuyingozi eyamukelekayo. Uthe imithetho yemaski yobuso, izindlela zokuhlanza ezengeziwe, nezinhlelo zokuhlunga komoya ezisebenza kahle kakhulu zenza izindiza zibe “indawo ephephile uma kuqhathaniswa.” USnyder uthe kungenzeka ukuthi iMelika inedatha yokwenza isipele isinqumo sayo ngokombono webhizinisi. “Uma benza lolu shintsho lokudayisa zonke izihlalo, bayazi ukuthi abantu bakhuluma kakhulu; kodwa ekugcineni zisazondiza uma intengo ilungile.”
Ngendlela ehlukile, iFrontier Airlines izamile ukukhokhisa abagibeli imali eyengeziwe ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi bazoba eduze kwesihlalo esiphakathi esingenalutho, kodwa inkampani yezindiza yesabelomali yaphoqeleka ukuthi ihlehle ngenyanga edlule njengoba ibhekene nezinsolo zokuthi izama ukuzuza ngokwesaba abantu ukuthola inkontileka. igciwane elibulalayo.
