Americans who have waited more than a year to travel are having their summer vacations 鈍らせるd before they begin by flight cancelations and 延期するs 原因（となる）d by a 不足 in 操縦するs.?

Travel is on the up, with 9.8million Americans 飛行機で行くing between July 2nd and July 6th - three times as many as in the same period last year. It was still 3million off the 12.5million who flew over the Fourth of July 週末 in 2019.?

But since 2019, tens of thousands of 操縦するs have been 解雇する／砲火／射撃d along with flight attendants and airport 労働者s as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.?

操縦するs have also retired, but no new 操縦するs have had enough training to 取って代わる them.

It has created a bottleneck シナリオ that is 軍隊ing 航空機によるs to 緊急発進する 操縦するs from wherever they can. Often they can't find any, and the flights are 取り消すd.?

On Tuesday, 541 flights were 取り消すd in, out and within America, which is 200 more per day than were 存在 取り消すd on 普通の／平均（する） between January and April, when より小数の people were 飛行機で行くing.?

They 含むd??126 南西 flights,?82 American 航空機によるs flights,?77 部隊d 航空機によるs flights,?36 JetBlue flights,?27 Delta flights,?22 Frontier flights and??10 Spirit 航空機によるs flights.?

Travellers wait in line for 移民／移住 過程 ahead of the July 4th holiday, at the Newark Liberty International Airport, in Newark, New Jersey, U.S., July 2, 2021

Travel is on the up, with 9.8million Americans 飛行機で行くing between July 2nd and July 6th - three times as many as in the same period last year. It was still 3million off the 12.5million who flew over the Fourth of July 週末 in 2019.

It's 負かす／撃墜する to more flights 存在 scheduled to 会合，会う 乗客 需要・要求する, without enough staff there to run them.?操縦するs say the problem lies with a 欠如（する） of training.?

'Many U.S. 航空機によるs are seeing 増加するd flight 需要・要求する and thanks to the Payroll Support Program, ALPA 操縦するs are on the 職業 and ready for 離陸／出発.??

'However, everyone has to do their part. 航空機による training departments must を取り引きする 増加するd flight schedules, and we believe that most should be able to 予報する and 答える／応じる 適切な to retraining 需要・要求するs.?

'As we were throughout the pandemic, ALPA is a willing partner and we are 活発に working with the 航空機によるs to 確実にする that the 投資s made in our 産業 help 燃料 the 経済的な 回復, continue to produce an 適する 供給（する） of 高度に-trained 操縦するs and keep 飛行機で行くing 安全な,' a 広報担当者 for the 航空機による 操縦するs 協会 told DailyMail.com.?

Not every 航空機による laid off staff in the pandemic. It was only American that furloughed 操縦するs and they got rid of 1,600.?

All of those 操縦するs need to be retrained before they can 飛行機で行く again and that could take months.

Captain Dennis Tajer, who has been an American 操縦する for more than 20 years, told DailyMail.com last month: 'It's surreal. This time last year we were 取り消すing flights because there weren't enough 乗客s.?

'Now we're 取り消すing flights because there aren't enough 操縦するs.'?

?He is also the 広報担当者 for the 連合した 操縦するs 協会 - the union which 代表するs American's 15,000 操縦するs.

Tajer doesn't believe that the 不足s are 負かす／撃墜する 完全に to the COVID-19 furloughs, but says the 航空機による is unwilling to work with the 操縦するs to plug the 穴を開けるs.?

'Instead of coming to us and working with us, they've just 降伏するd to 減ずるing the schedule.?

'There's a scheduling problem in that 操縦するs can't 受託する overtime work 合法的に without maxing out their 飛行機で行くing hours.??

'A lot of people who want to help aren't 供給するd the 柔軟性 to help so it 狭くするs the players to a very small 利ざや.??

'But this is the same 問題／発行する as American was having in 2019- this is not 特に a COVID problem.

'We 堅固に believe we could have 支えるd the schedule but they didn't 協議する it. I don't know if their plates were just too 十分な or what,' he said.?

American said all of its 操縦するs would return to work by the end of July.??

'The first thing AA did was furlough 1,600 操縦するs in October. No one else did that.?

'Those 操縦するs are still を待つing training and they won't be ready to 飛行機で行く by the end of August. 合法的に, if you have had a break of three months you have to be trained up again.?So the school house is at 十分な 色合い.?

'Then you have the 1,000 who took 早期に 退職. They've got to fill those positions which takes months and months.??
