More people are expected to fly this summer than in 2019, the year before the pandemic disrupted air travel across the U.S., according to the Transportation Security Administration.According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, in 2021, around 10.88% of flights were delayed. In 2022, 19.97% of flights didn't leave on time. So far in 2023, 21.6% of flights have been delayed.
One issue being discussed is the age of mandatory retirement for pilots. Currently, pilots must retire at 65. Some in Congress want that to change to 67. Within 15 years, 50% of pilots will retire.
