Airlines, FAA Play Blame Game Over Cancellations - AVweb

Buttigeig threatens fines–why not have a provision to fine or sanction the FAA for THEIR failure to perform? Controllers have been understaffed (How many controllers has the FAA certified in the last few years?) and is far behind the industry that it tries to regulate.

Air travel is a partnership–airlines–the labor force (unions)–the government work force (unionized controllers) and the regulators. This isn’t the fault of any ONE of them, but ALL of them! You can’'t solve the capacity problems without all being involved!
