The very nature of travel in itself is chaotic,
however, the 21st century is yet in the explorative years regarding
new industries and directions that are affecting travel in ways, that are now
in 2023 being played out resulting in unexpected chaos.
For instance, the result of a viral plague that
shut down the global world from 2020 to the now declared "official
end" of COVID 13, by the administration
per the US Presidential decree, but what happened in our COVID 13 past then is
now affecting travel. Mainly due to
shortages of personnel that are impacting plane travel as a result of the lack
of personal to staff the airlines, i.e. pilots, and most importantly, the
airport control towers that insure planes are not crashing into each other, all
are now lacking employees.
It's a little known fact that the FAA can contract with
private companies to staff airport towers, but even these private companies
haven't got enough staff, and are in the midst of hiring now, but it will take
time to train these new recruits.
As well, in 2023, the hiring process is being
stalled with not enough applicants who have backgrounds that would qualify them
to apply.
The issue of climate change and use of fossil
fuels can also affect travel.
Not
enough supply of jet fuel to supply the demand that is being severely limited
by the global climate change advocates who want to curtail the supply of oil,
which is necessary for the operation and scheduling of flights.
Here's my conclusion: you can expect flights to be cancelled
without explanation, it's even happening
overseas, airline personnel are striking for more pay, and the endless cycle of
cancellations repeats in a global world where "chaos" is the new normal.
My advice is to expect the worst, and anything
that is not as bad will be hailed as "manageable chaos."
