Why Air Travel Is Hell This SummerAcross Europe and the U.S., the joyful return of summer travel has turned into a season of chaos. It won’t be fixed anytime soon Because the greedy airlines & airports especially in UK didn't furlough enough staff & sacked too many. Now those ex employees have found other better paid jobs and they're not offering more money to current staff. Also Governments didn't support the industry enough. Again, repercussions of the world being shut down for 2 years from Covid….just say what it is!!!! Another reason not to fly!
