Last paragraph
As the economy emerges from the current pandemic uncertainties into a reliable growth phase, it’s time for the states, municipalities and public agencies that have short-sheeted their younger workers with hollow OPEB promises to finally pay the kitty. Medicare may get reformed, but it will never be free in the foreseeable future. Perhaps we’ll someday see a public option that provides Medicare access to early-out retirees and their former employers at cost (which is now about $1,000 monthly pre-65), but that’s hardly the free lunch that the OPEB ostriches are fantasizing. Public employees aged 40 and under should demand that their promised benefits be funded when earned, or go to work someplace where the leadership doesn’t feign belief in miracles and an alternative fiscal reality.

Also, JetBlue mid day flight from JFK is already cancelled for tomorrow as well. The aircraft that did the FLL flight today will be doing the mid day flight from ORH to JFK. Even though ORH hasn’t been cut any flights, we’ve definitely seen an impact because of the pilot shortage. Just sucks today for people wanting to go down to FLL to start their vacation in Florida for the week and now they have to go to another airport or wait another day (assuming that tomorrow’s flight isn’t sold out already)
