"In order to prevent any potential delays of our crew members getting to where they need to be on time, we have relocated some of our crew to airport hotels," the air carrier told Fox News on Tuesday morning.
"We have also moved our Network Operations Centre to a backup facility outside of downtown Chicago to ensure our operations continue to run on schedule" added on the statement. Pilots and flight attendants stationed in Atlanta, Portland, Denver, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle and as well as Dulles and Arlighton are about to be moved out.
It seems that the Chicago based airline is not the only one that plans to move its crew as in a statement "Since nothing is more important that the safety and health of our people and customers, we have the ability to shift our crew hotel sites if warranted", Delta said in a statement obtained by Fox News.
"But out of many safety and security considerations, we don't detail location or duration specifics", the airline added.
American and Southwest have raised their concerns in regards to post elections riot which are likely to happen and told Fox News that are monitoring the situation and are prepared to move crew hotel if needed.
