This is just so shocking and unexpected.
Americans gained a new federal holiday last year: Juneteenth. This year the holiday, which commemorates of the end of slavery in the United States, falls on Sunday but it will be observed in many places on Monday, June 20.

Apparently when we basically grounded commercial passenger aviation and encouraged shopping at home, some of those pilots moved from commercial airlines to package delivery aviation. And since Covid was described by the media as a decades-long life changing event, several years of young people didn’t train to become pilots and flight attendants to take the place of those who took early retirement, partially from the financial relief packages the government gave to the airlines.
Now shockingly there is a major pilot shortage to fly people around. Shocking. Who would have dreamed of this consequence?
