John Nolte has a column at Breitbart that will be of interest to anyone who is still flying the unfriendly skies for business, family, etc.:
After a terrible, dreadful 2022 for
airline travel, passengers should expect things to get even worse this year. So
says the CEO of United Airlines . . .
Labor shortages?
Maybe firing people who refused to
get vaccinated was not such a good idea, especially when the unvaccinated pose
no threat to anyone else.
Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to
force airline personnel to wear those useless masks for hours and hours on end.
Who wants to work under those conditions?
The airlines’ problems are a labor
shortage, regulations (like retiring pilots too young at 65), outdated
technology, and lousy infrastructure.
Airlines are too beholden to the
government. That’s the problem. They are regulated within an inch of their
life. When bureaucracies and politics strangle you, you can’t make the
necessary moves fast enough when the market shifts.
. . .
Because the federal government is no longer focused on the basics. Today, it’s focused on utopian nonsense like appeasing the transsexual loons, arming Ukraine, and apologizing for colonialism and slavery.
. . .
Where does all the money our
government takes in go? Why do our airports look third-world? Why are there not
enough hubs? Why can’t we create enough expansion so the metal detector lines
don’t look like the lines at Space Mountain? Why is technology so outdated? Why
is the labor pool not large enough?
None of this should be happening in
a country as wealthy and dynamic as ours. . . .
But it is. And of course it’s not just air travel that’s
deteriorating. Read the full report
