About this episode
A nationwide pilot shortage is prompting thousands of delays and cancellations for summer travelers. Dennis Tajer, American Airlines pilot and spokesperson for the Allied Pilots Association, says the staffing issues are due to management’s lack of foresight, and he warns that airlines may start to cut corners to keep up with demand. CNBC’s autos and airlines reporter Phil Lebeau considers how long it will take carriers to sort out their problems, and whether the federal government will have to step in to help.
