Throw that wisdom out the window.

Yeah, glad to be here.
Yeah, it's gotten really bad.

It's hard to underscore how bad it's gotten.

Some data that the Wall Street Journal crunched from FlightAware, which is a flight data specialist, for most of the world's 100 busiest airports, they have had at least 20% of their flights delayed between June 1st and July 24th.
matched
That is one in five flights.
matched
So that is a significantly higher number of flights than we normally see delayed.
matched
So by delays, when we're looking at the FlightAware data, what we're talking about is the percentage of an airport's completed departures that arrived more than 15 minutes late at their destination.
matched
obviously, there's always going to be the perennial things like weather, issues at a specific airport that just come about naturally.
matched
Those sorts of things are still at play, obviously.
matched
But the biggest issue right now is staffing, both within the airlines and within the airports themselves.
matched
Staff levels are not where they're at to meet the demand that we're seeing.
matched
So we're not talking just about flight attendants and pilots.
matched
We're also talking about baggage handlers who
matched
TSA agents, folks manning the desks for checking folks in.
matched
Kind of at every stage of the flight process, staffing is not where it needs to be.
matched
And that just contributes to these delays piling up.
matched
Yeah, so among U.S.
matched
airports, number one is Chicago Midway.
matched
So not O'Hare, but the other major hub in Chicago.
