Thousands of Minnesota state workers will be getting layoff notices in the next few days because the Legislature has failed to come to a budget agreement.

Replacement pilot for @delta flight has arrived - wishing us good fortune as we take off soon - I think !

I have the answer -thanks Matt and thanks everyone else you all are making me laugh 😂 or is it crying ?

@esmemurphy Believe it or not there are replacement captains sitting around. Usually 2 unless something really unusual happened in the previous 6 hours before your flight. If there aren’t those two around, at least one is within one hour of the airport/flight on call by the company.
