United says FAA staffing shortages causing significant disruption at Newark hub

"This is why it continues to be imperative for FAA to rebuild staffing levels so travelers can depend on safe, efficient air travel," United said.

Amen. Our rail / subway network badly trails most of the developed world. Looks like aviation’s next in line. Not much is ever said about the health effects of stranding hundreds / thousands of men, women, children for hours or days at a distant airport or alien location. Has to take a considerable toll. MAGA - Make aviation great again.

I just have to wonder … If the likes of Musk, Bezos or Trump had to fly commercial, wait in long lines, hole-up in airports or nearby second rate hotels overnight due to preventable delays - if the situation wouldn’t improve? ISTM the accessibility of commercial aviation to the masses ironically led to its misery.
