A term that came to a fruition in early 2022 in Australia. Once the global pandemic restrictions started to lift (Qantas Airways and their low cost subsidiary Jetstar headed by CEO Alan JOYCE) under Alan Joyce's direction, proceeded to sell more tickets for flights than they could handle, 110% of available seats - disgruntled workers from across the airline used isolation rules for self selected days off and a lack of employee cooperation let to an incredible amount of recurring cancellations and significant delays. Delays for some that ran over multiple days. Flight cancellations, lost and missing bags and no staff in terminals, all of which were avoidable and totally self inflicted.
