Why does anyone read this propaganda rag?
Remember, it's the New York Times!
Rough Summer Is on the Way for Air Travel - New York Times: "Brace yourself for a summer of miserable air travel.
Planes are expected to be packed fuller than at anytime since World War II, when the airlines helped transport troops. Fares are rising. Service frills are disappearing.
Logjams at airport security checkpoints loom as the federal government strains to keep screener jobs filled. The usual violent summer storms are expected to send the air traffic control system into chaos at times, with flight delays and cancellations cascading across the country.
And many airline employees, after years of pay cuts and added work, say they are dreading the season ahead. Those workers, and there are about 70,000 fewer of them than in 2002, will be handling more than 100 million more passengers this year than they did four years ago. "
