Newark NJ, the Federal Aviation Administration caused significant delays in the New York area on Monday after it forced ground delays due to staffing shortages, marking another disruption in a summer already marked by unusually high levels of flight delays and cancellations.

FAA said on Monday it was forced to lighten aircraft traffic at New York City’s three major airports due to staffing shortages, leading to significant delays. Transportation Department Secretary Pete Buttigieg acknowledged the larger issue in a recent interview with CNN, saying recent disruptions caused by weather should not have made such a widespread impact.
The agency noted it plans to hire more than 1,500 air traffic controllers this year and is “reducing the backlog of training caused by COVID-19.”
My recent domestic flight from Newark was delayed for 6 hours. Airline provided no reason why. Luggage for all passengers never made it on board the plane. A huge screw up. Airline refuses to assume any responsibility.

pilots were given the opportunity to retire and smart ones took the $$$
