National Crisis: Woodford Shortage at CLT

I don’t want to create mass panic, but apparently there is a Woodford shortage at CLT. Two flights, no Woodford. Flight Attendant confirmed they haven’t had it for a few days. This is a national crisis and I call on the Biden Administration to devote all required resources to fix it.😉

Also, no shakes at the CLT Shake Shack. I’m pretty sure the end times are nigh.

Seriously, just FYI. Safe travels to all!

Wow. I was on AA this week ex-DFW and they only had 2 bottles on the whole plane. Thankfully, I saved both of them from being consumed in coach

I agree, it’s time for politicians from both parties to actually do something, for once

Flew out of Louisville last week and there was no Woodford either.

Of all places!

Until this dream comes true, can at least confirm that DL is still getting their hands on plenty of Woodford.

I've heard the C/D Admirals Club is this very moment being requisitioned by FEMA and the Mecklenburg Co public health authorities for use as an emergency clinic where provisions will be administered, orally or intravenously, to dazed AAdvantage elites escaping into the terminal off of Woodford-less aircraft. All emergency rations of Woodford will come from the strategic national stockpile. Government can work, people.

There was only one Woodford on my ATL-MIA this past week. The FA came to me with the one Woodford or two Jacks...I took the Woodford.

Of course, the FAs didn't bother getting out of their jumpseats on MIA-JAX, so no way to validate if there was any Sweet Nectar of Gloriousness catered.

I've been encountering this with PSA for months. Latest FA excuse was we haven't been to base for awhile. The plane came from Charlotte and was going back to Charlotte.
