It isn’t going to get better for years.

Ramping up capacity takes years and high fuel prices mean airlines are going to be phasing out the guzzlers they have been flying and buying all new fleets over the next five years which means hiring/training people that aren’t currently there.

With high fuel costs, there is a tipping point where customers will no longer travel unless absolutely necessary. I remember pre 9/11 flying one night and there were maybe a dozen of us on the coast to coast flight.
