The July Fourth holiday weekend is off to a booming start with airport crowds crushing the numbers seen in America in 2019, before the pandemic.

Travellers seemed to be experiencing fewer delays and cancelled flights Friday than they did earlier this week.

"We expect that is going to be busy, of course, and then Sunday will be very busy," TSA Administrator David Pekoske said on NBC's "Today" show.AAA predicts that nearly 48 million people will travel at least 50 miles or more from home over the weekend, slightly fewer than in 2019. AAA says car travel will set a record even with the national average price for gasoline hovering near US$5.

While vacationers are crowing airports and roadside restaurants, business travel and international flying remain depressed, and the total number of people flying has not fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels. TSA screened 11% fewer people in June than it did in the same month of 2019. Airlines could almost surely be carrying more passengers if they had enough staffing. Many U.S. airlines have trimmed their summer schedules after bad weather, air-traffic delays and a lack of enough employees caused widespread cancellations over the Memorial Day weekend.

We aren't at predemic with not enough people vaccinated worldwide. The only way we get to predemic is by getting more people vaccinated than pretend the pandemic is over with right now. Predemic is when we get 95% of the world population vaccinated nothing more & nothing less.

So the US is seeing 17% MORE travelers than 2019, meanwhile in Canada airlines have to cut back flights to 32% LESS than 2019 because of the chaos at our airports. Where is the accountability from the Federal government?
