It’s not too hard to see that airlines let people go, offered early retirement and buyouts for people. This was from the simple gate agent and baggage handler to pilot and it all has an effect. The biggest being pilots where usually you would have ample on call pilots for people being sick, or standby in case a flight is delayed at a hub in which the route would be filled by a different pilot at the airport. This just doesn’t exist or is is at a minimum currently. Throw in that pilots need x number of hours and simulator training after being furloughed and it’s a staffing disaster. So what has to happen, the number of flights need to be reduced, along with pent up demand the ones that do fly are absolutely packed and if something does happen there’s no longer a margin of an empty flight leaving late at night etc…
Basically all airlines are operating not by choice the Spirit model.
I look at Paw Patrol, then I look at Bluey and I'm like, "fuck me, Australian TV is so much better than US."
Well to be fair, Paw Patrol is Canadian. A lot of soories and aboots.
A lot of those people who were fired went out and found better paying jobs, more rewarding careers or better job stability. Same thing has happened to the hotel industry - turns out forcing people into other careers makes them realize how poorly they were treated/compensated. It's an employees market at the moment and unless you're improving your terms, workers will find other options.I understand all these factors in theory, of course - it just SEEMs crazy that the airlines would be unable to staff back up as demand increases - where did all those people go? What are they doing now? Or perhaps, as suggested, the airlines are purposely trying to operate at minimal staffing levels to increase their bottom line? That seems like a dangerous game that could motivate people to avoid flying at all costs. I know I will be planning trips where I can drive whenever possible for the foreseeable future.

Increased demand leading to overbooking and understaffing are the main two reasons. People are finally taking trips that have been postponed due to COVID. Airlines took a bunch of government money due to COVID but passed it on to shareholders instead of properly hiring for what they had to know was going to be increased demand.
That’s why the Dems passed a law codifying that you can request cash refunds for cancelled flights.
