Another goodie from Cheshire:
If you think the boomer die-off isn't a big deal, just wait until you see how badly the supply chain will fall apart in absence of a stable transportation system.
Air travel and cargo alone is riding on the backs of industry-veteran boomers who are retiring in droves.
ATC personnel, pilots, mechanics, dispatchers... All facing major staffing shortages that they won't be able to fill with conventional hiring standards.
So those standards will be lowered. It's already happening, and we can see it in the increased delays and near-miss incidents.
Even passenger jets move lots of mail and cargo. Air traffic is one of the most important moving parts of the national and international supply chain. Just that alone will have severe consequences for all other sectors.
And this is before even getting to trains and trucks. Just this one sector of the economy can dynamite everything else if it becomes dysfunctional enough. Does your industry need supplies? Do they arrive via plane, train, or truck? 💀
Tell me you know nothing about transportation regulations without telling me.
The ability to fully automate large jets has existed for decades. Why do you think it hasn't been implemented yet?
It's a little late for this, but boomers should have encouraged their kids to learn skills that apply to these fields instead of telling them to get useless degrees in marketing, business, education, and art history. Maybe big propaganda push on zoomers? ...................
Is this the futre of air travel due to the lowering of standards?
