| 1640143715300966400 | @pattibacchus @BCFerries @Dave_Eby @Rob_Fleming Very disappointing. Interestingly, there were no canceled sailings over Xmas and New Years when staff earn double (triple?) time. Probably just a coincidence. | 0 |

| 1640108831060668416 | @pattibacchus @BCFerries @Dave_Eby @Rob_Fleming I mean, what are they supposed to do if they don’t have enough staff? Strap thousands of people inside a boat on the ocean and hope for the best? | 33 |

| 1640126170212732929 | @pattibacchus @BCFerries @Dave_Eby @Rob_Fleming Every industry is having trouble recruiting. And even those who are fully staffed up are still vulnerable to communicable diseases like the pandemic we are still in. | 11 |
| 1640204429113819136 | @pattibacchus @juniper145 @BCFerries @Dave_Eby @Rob_Fleming Where are you going to get staff? It's not wages, or benefits, Covid changed us, we were laid off, changed careers, went to school and moved on. Many of us who worked in the service industry refuse to take any more of the abuse dished out by the public. | 6 |
