United CEO Says FAA is ‘Brazenly Breaking Rules’ With Congestion at Newark – Travel Pulse

This seems a bit like Kirby trying to protect one of their main hubs but the gauntlet has been thrown down a bit.

Cargo ship hits Mariner of the Seas while docked in Freeport – Royal Caribbean Blog

Lucky that there wasn’t any serious damage. I think this happens a lot more often than we think though.

Airlines Substitute Buses for Planes as Pilot Shortage Persists – Time

The numbers are kind of staggering, “The industry needs to hire an average of 14,500 new pilots each year until 2030, according to federal labor statistics.” We are years away from fixing this shortage, if it even happens.

  1. There is ZERO shortage of pilots. Pisses me off that the CEO’s are pushing this garbage. There is a shortage of pilots willing to work trashy regional operations. No highly skilled worker wants to sit on airport reserve for $50,000 per year. That is not fair starting pay for anyone with that many lives in their hands. I assure you United/Spirit/JetBlue/DL/AA have all the pilots they need. Right now they cannot train fast enough and do not have the resources from a support standpoint. It is HILARIOUS watching this pilot shortage thing go around. Spirit actually does not even hire 1/10 applicants. Remember… the media NEVER states the facts and CEO’s blame everything on “non-controllables ” Put those 2 things together and I guess we have a pilot shortage.
