Pilot Shortages Have Airlines Deploying Buses For Some Routes
Don’t be alarmed, there is a chance that your next airline trip could become a bus route.
Americans are traveling again with COVID cases going down, but nearly every airline is scrambling to fill their cockpits.
Business Insider reports that the problems right now include not enough new pilots moving from smaller regional airlines to the major carriers and too few pilots exiting the military.
The lack of pilots is leading to flight cancellations and delays. So how are airlines dealing? United and American Airlines are opting for buses. They’re hiring them to replace planes on shorter routes.
American’s bus strategy starts with routes between New Jersey and Pennsylvania on June 3rd.
