Issue Overview
Staffing. That's the issue airlines in the U.S. are grappling with as they plan their summer schedules. The good news is that carriers are licking their chops in anticipation of a torrid summer of unleashed pent-up demand. The bad news? Some unions, American's pilots in particular, say the airlines have published schedules they can't possibly fly with the staff they have. Most other airlines are trimming capacity guidance as the summer season approaches.
