In the travel biz, we are often inundated with travel alerts or advisories, warning about something somewhere that will impact travelers. The good news is we tend to screen these cautionary missives, so as not to spam our travelers about events with which they'd have no connection.

That said, my friend and in-house Travel Alert Scholar, Renae, sent me an advisory too good not to share, one that will not be read, pondered and chuckled over, but rather destined for the recycle bin where it will linger undistributed and unappreciated. Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands; and this time I could not let it happen. Here is said advisory:

Cork flights grounded for second night
Cork airport tonight faced the second delay in 24 hours as a dispute with air traffic controllers escalated. The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) said six flights at the airport will be grounded between tonight and 8am tomorrow because a worker called in sick and his colleagues refused to cover his shift.

In Renae’s Op-Ed to me she asks, “One worker. Do you think this is a protest of lack of staffing or a coworker scuffle? Is this the guy who has called in sick one too many times and his co-workers are fed up? This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long, long time.” 

I concur Renae, I concur.
