Is it just me, or are there a lot of strikes going on?

Nope. We've started hitting the normies boiling point tho. Salaries need a massive lift for everyone below a director level in corporate and anyone not working as a captain in aviation. Strikes are how we the people say enough is enough but it seems like the powers that be are asking us to full on general strike at this point with the resistance they have been putting up against minor increases
I flew American a couple of weeks ago and one of the planes had a funny attendant crew. I believe they were a crew from the northeast. One of them, a 50ish lady, was going over the exit aisle instructions with the people sitting there. One of them, a guy also around 50, was trying to joke around with her in a good-natured manner as far as I could tell in the brief part of the interaction I saw as I shuffled by to my seat. At first she seemed to go along with it but then suddenly she said "If you would just shut up I can explain this to you." I was like damn, this lady is living the customer service dream.
