BN state is served by a monopolistic airline. That airline gives us lots of lovely direct flights to places we like to debate. Those flights are a bit more expensive than other options, but they go at nice times and it doesn't take long to get from BN state to other places -- and direct travel is also nice..
Monopoly Airlines is threatening to go on strike... 93% of the pilots on that airline have threatened to strike. This airline is currently being struck by the mechanics, but they have been replaced.
Last week I booked all the tickets for our travel to Oregon -- on another airline. We have exactly 0 tickets on them in the next month...
If they strike, I look brilliant --- and getting on a flight at 6:30 AM is a great option if you don't have any others... If they don't, then we are all getting up in the middle of the night for no reason...
BUT... the fact of the matter is also that if I had waitied to buy the tickets, the prices would have spiked with the news and we might not have been able to get on anyway...
So -- maybe better safe than sorry we didn't leave at a better time.
