There's Not Enough Pilots

 Even before the pandemic of 2020 there is that burgeoning problem with the commercial aviation. There is not enough pilots to fly airplanes. Some pilots overslept while flying airplanes due to  exhaustion over-fatigue and that's dangerous. The commercial airline company sometimes offered high incentives, higher wages yet no one's biting it. They also offered and asked the service of pilots from the military. ? Still is enough is never enough when hundreds of millions of airline passengers wanting to fly to get into the destinations of their choice. So the delays and cancellations of flights would be just normal. The long waiting game would be as natural as it is.

There are other ways and means of travel. Why not try cruise ships, trains, or long driving from one city to city up to the time that you an get through the borders and ports or desired paths. Or choose not to travel. Can't do that? Get a pilot's license and fly your own plane if you owned one.

Travel with caution. The world is not the same as it used to be and that's an inconvenient truth.
