![]() In Long Beach, the carrier canceled 166, or 44%, of its flights from Dec. The December fiasco saw the plans of hundreds of thousands of travelers stalled or ruined as Southwest canceled nearly 20,000 flights across the country. “It would be premature for us to speculate on how a potential strike might impact the airport.” ![]() “Long Beach Airport is aware of the intention for the (SWAPA) to call for a strike authorization vote,” airport spokesperson Kate Kuykendall said in an email to the Business Journal. A pilot strike would have serious implications at the small municipal airfield. Southwest is Long Beach Airport’s leading carrier, holding 40 of the facility’s 53 allocated daily flight slots, with nonstop service to 18 U.S. Murray noted pilots have had to deal with mismanaged scheduling for years, which has led to record fatigue calls. The association stated the issues that led to the historic collapse of operations were well known and longstanding. While still months away, the vote call coming on the heels of the company’s very public meltdown in late December causes concern for customers and those in the industry. “We will continue to follow the process outlined in the Railway Labor Act and work, under the assistance of the National Mediation Board, toward reaching an agreement that rewards our pilots and places them competitively in the industry.” “SWAPA’s call for an authorization vote does not affect Southwest’s operation or our ability to take care of our customers,” Southwest Labor Relations Vice President Adam Carlisle said in a Jan. The vote is slated for May 1, which gives passengers time to book future travel with a different carrier, according to Murray. The group has several events planned to engage with pilots and educate them about what this action means for them, their families and careers, according to Second Vice President Tom Nekouei. ![]() The union represents the nearly 10,000 pilots that fly Southwest’s fleet of about 780 aircraft.Īssociation Vice President Michael Santoro said leadership was hesitant to move forward with the vote, but the group has exhausted every other option to “wake up management.” “This is not a decision we take lightly, but the time is now.” “Three years in the negotiating room, very little progress, a Christmas meltdown that has just defined what all our problems are have led us to this decision,” President Casey Murray said in the video. 18, leaders of the Southwest Airline Pilots Association, which has been at the bargaining table with the commercial airline for years, announced their call for the authorization vote in a video posted to YouTube and published on its website and social media channels. The move would cost the company and airports across the country, including Long Beach, millions of dollars. Unionized Southwest Airlines pilots are expected to take a strike authorization vote in the coming months that could result in one of the world’s largest carriers being grounded for an undetermined amount of time.

Before beginning the encryption process, the startup key needed for BitLocker must be created and saved to a USB drive. The following example illustrates enabling BitLocker on a computer without a TPM chip. This command returns the volumes on the target, current encryption status, encryption method, and volume type (operating system or data) for each volume: Use the following command to determine volume status: manage-bde.exe -status It's recommended to add at least one primary protector plus a recovery protector to an operating system volume.Ī good practice when using manage-bde.exe is to determine the volume status on the target system. However, many environments require more secure protectors such as passwords or PIN and expect information recovery with a recovery key. In general, using only the manage-bde.exe -on command will encrypt the operating system volume with a TPM-only protector and no recovery key. Listed below are examples of basic valid commands for operating system volumes. Using manage-bde with operating system volumes The following sections provide examples of common usage scenarios for manage-bde. A volume encrypted in this manner still requires user interaction to turn on BitLocker protection, even though the command successfully completed because an authentication method needs to be added to the volume for it to be fully protected. For example, using just the manage-bde.exe -on command on a data volume will fully encrypt the volume without any authenticating protectors. ![]() Manage-bde includes fewer default settings and requires greater customization for configuring BitLocker.

Her gemstone type was confirmed in "Made of Honor" by Bismuth. In " Earthlings", Jasper believed the Snow Monster to be a Quartz Gem like herself, implying that the Orange Great North Monster was too. She had a mixture of brown-orange colors, with designs similar to that of a real Biggs Jasper gemstone.

Fourteen of those were completely dry, zero-point-zero. Going back to 1849, San Francisco has had 26 Octobers with 0.05 inches of rain or less. In the long-term record, October rain shutouts aren’t unusual in the Bay Area, according to rainfall records kept by Jan Null of Golden Gate Weather Services. My first-born daughter had just learned to walk in 2013 when, for the first time in my life, it failed to rain any amount in San Francisco in the month of October. But there was a caveat to those years, too: varied meant that sometimes it rained a little, and sometimes it rained a lot. The October rains varied, because that’s Bay Area fall climatology. Very wet again in 1984, with more than 2 inches. It was drier in 1983, around a quarter of an inch. Two-point-eight inches in 1982, a big El Niño year. San Francisco got 2 inches of rain in October 1981. That would turn out to be a very dry October. It rained 0.06 inches in the Bay Area in October 1980, my first experience of October rain. #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater /PHgOZEUWgb- Daniel Swain October 13, 2021 Before we assume it will happen, we can ask: where’s the conflict?Ĭalifornia, on statewide basis, is now experiencing its worst drought in observational record going back to late 1800s–narrowly beating out peak of last drought in 2014-15 (as measured by PDSI, a metric that takes into account both precip & temperature). And so, like the forecaster, we can look at what the weather models show us might happen, and watch them match so closely with what we need and want to have happen. This parched, tinderbox state desperately needs water. Now we’ve reached the middle of the month and there’s rain on the ground and in the forecast. On October 13 California surpassed the driest point of the 2013-2015 drought and was the driest it had been in the 126-year observational record. Two weeks after the forecast showed a chance of rain, a hair-raising north wind started dozens of new fires. October in California is the month when those states conflict the most. There is what weather we want, and what weather is supposed to be, and what weather happens. At the time the various weather prediction models all showed some chance of real rain two weeks out, and the forecaster stuck a caveat on the computers with this phrase: “we’re fighting climatology.” I read the Bay Area AFD with religious devotion three times a day (although I admit I still can’t explain a retrograding shortwave) because sometimes a line leaps out even to the lay reader. This bulletin, called the Area Forecast Discussion, goes into detail about various technical weather things like fronts and trough axes and cold air advection aloft as a consequence of retrograding shortwaves. Every eight hours or so, the forecasters at the National Weather Service office in Monterey write up and publish a summary of what they see happening with the Bay Area’s weather. |
