Expect more flight delays this summer — Congress decided that airlines could only hire aspiring commercial pilots who have 1500 hours of flight time instead of 250.

Planning to fly this summer? Good luck.

Delays are up. Cancellations, too.

Why? Because of the pilot shortage.

A pilot shortage? How can this be? Flying is a popular job. Some people fly small planes just for fun. Why aren’t there enough commercial pilots?

Because the government passed another dumb law.

In 2009, after a Colgan Air crash near Buffalo killed 50 people, Congress decided that airlines could only hire aspiring commercial pilots who already had lots of flight time. Instead of 250 hours, now they have to have 1,500 hours.

“That never made any sense,” says current commercial airline pilot Tracy Price in my new video.
