Commentary: Airline meltdowns are the canary in the coal mine
For would-be vacationers, this has been the summer of our discontent. In the wake of the pandemic, severe staffing shortages have triggered a crush of disruption: Flight cancellations abound while check-in lines snake out the terminal door. Travelers wonder when the chaos will abate.
But what if this isn’t just a temporary hiccup? This summer’s air travel meltdown could well be the canary in the coal mine for the labor shortages we may soon experience across the economy as boomers retire, population growth slows and training lags. To avoid further shortages, we must rethink how we invest in workers and start planning ahead.
Across sectors, today’s problems have been a long time coming. For those who think travel headaches are simply the product of pent-up wanderlust, consider this: According to the labor market analytics firm Lightcast, job openings for pilots have grown 72% since 2016 while the number of pilots at work has grown only 12%, a profound gap that demonstrates just how many jobs are going unfilled.
Similar gaps are apparent across fields. Over the past five years, growth in demand for registered nurses has outpaced growth in supply tenfold, while job openings for electrical engineers have grown three times faster than the available workforce.
Meanwhile, in many fields, a wave of impending retirements threatens to overwhelm the ability of colleges to graduate new talent. For example, even as supply chain disruption widens, twice as many logisticians exit the field annually as earn relevant degrees. Recession may cool demand for a time, but the long-term trend is clear.
Shortages in high-skill roles, such as pilots, are especially hard to resolve. It takes many years to train a pilot. Early in the pandemic, as air travel came to a standstill, airlines cut almost half of their pilots. Now, as demand for air travel roars back, there isn’t a store of qualified pilots waiting on the sidelines and there’s no prospect of bringing more to market anytime soon.
Airlines are raising wages dramatically. Two American Airlines affiliates recently announced that they would double pay. That may entice fresh talent to the field, but new pilots won’t be flight-ready anytime soon. For now, all airlines can do is compete with one another for those already in the cockpit. That’s good for pilots but doesn’t clear the shortage.
This same lag between demand and supply plays out across the labor market. Amid surging cyber threats, companies are bulking up on people with the skills to protect data and networks, with job postings up 70% since 2017. But a key qualification for cybersecurity work, Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification, requires five years’ experience. That’s a long time to wait for more workers.
There are two ways to address long lead times: better preparedness on the part of employers and greater responsiveness in the way that colleges and training providers ready new workers.
Employers take up an ages-old “can’t find good help these days” complaint but much of the solution to this rising crisis rests with them. Since the 1960s, companies have taken an increasingly transactional approach to labor, hiring and firing at will to match business shifts. That works for firms only so long as workers are widely available and quickly trained. But the kind of highly skilled work that pilots and cybersecurity engineers do comprises a growing share of today’s economy.
Employers need a new, longer-term mindset. That means considering the workforce as a relationship, not just a transaction — one that is less disposable and more enduring through ups and downs. A more invested relationship involves helping workers keep their skills fresh. Investing in skills training is good both for workers and for companies themselves, ensuring that the workforce they have remains the one they need as technologies obsolete at a startling rate.
Companies also need a longer-term mindset in considering future needs. Most plan production schedules and supply chains multiple quarters in advance but have no comparable talent plan, relying instead on the vagaries of the market to deliver skilled workers just in time. Too often they come up short.
But we need not take as given the long time frames currently required to develop new talent. For our workforce to be more agile, training itself must become more responsive. We need to consider ways to make each credential faster and more accessible. Are all current requirements still relevant? Much demand for CISSP certification is driven by federal mandate rather than actual need. Training that builds on workers’ existing skills saves time vs. training up from scratch. Airlines such as United and JetBlue have been investing in new training academies to accelerate the path to the cockpit and draw a more diverse pool of pilots.
Labor shortages need not be a permanent reality but avoiding them will take a shift in approach. Good talent, like anything else worthwhile, takes time. New training models can ready new workers more quickly, but there’s no dodging the need to plan ahead. From airlines to hospitals, companies that invest in workers for the long haul will steer clear of the turbulence that lies ahead.

Canary Islands | Plane tickets
The Canary Islands are a real paradise in Spain. The Spaniards who live on this mainland associate these islands with a bright holiday, as well as a large number of foreign tourists who prefer resort islands.
In order to find cheap flights to the Canary Islands , we recommend using the search form.
Time zone:
2 hours behind Moscow time.
Geography of the islands:
The Canary Islands are washed by the Atlantic Ocean on all sides. Together with the Azores, Madeira and Cape Verde Islands, they create what is commonly called “Macronesia”. The Canary Islands are located 400 kilometers from Madeira and 100 kilometers from the northwest African coast. Fuerteventura is located at 92 kilometers from the southernmost place in Morocco – Cap Juby. To the south is located Western Sahara, the former Spanish column. The Canary Islands are the property of Spain, which is 1500 km northeast of them. The total area of these islands is about 7500 square meters.
Climatic conditions:
The climatic conditions of the Canary Islands are considered to be the most favorable on the planet. The average temperature in winter is 17-18 degrees Celsius, in summer – 28-30 degrees Celsius. The trade winds and the warm current of the sea create a very gentle and mild climate. It should be noted, however, that the temperature indicators of the surrounding air can decrease dramatically in just 10 minutes.
Local language:
The spoken and official language is Spanish. Anyone who has a knowledge of Spanish at the level of school lessons will be able to make out the Canarian language with its special dialect with great difficulty. The locals speak an interesting Castilian dialect, but much faster and more gently than the people of Spain. In addition, the vocabulary of the Canary Islands is very rich in various “Canarzim”, which almost all came from the language of the Guanches, which in some cases creates some difficulties in communication (but usually in small provinces).
Religious views:
The locals are Catholic. The church year distinguishes urban and rural holidays.
Currency:
Euro. Banknotes in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 euros.
Coins in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents.
Local transport:
The Canary Islands have an extensive bus network. Bus transport here is commonly called “guaguas”. Taxi cars on the island of Tenerife are white cars with a green light at the top and a built-in taximeter. Going on such transport on a long trip, you need to make sure that the driver’s taximeter is in an active state. Taxi trains within the city limits of Las Americas and Los Cristianos will cost approximately 30-600 pesetas. Additional charges may apply at night. Few taxi drivers can speak foreign languages, however, they perfectly know all the hotels, hotel complexes and restaurants.
To rent a car, you need to have an international driver’s license obtained at least 365 days before the rental, and a personal passport. The driver must be at least 19 years of age. Traffic rules in the Canary Islands practically do not differ from European ones, however, you need to pay careful attention to road markings. Do not leave your vehicle on a highway where the shoulder is marked with a solid yellow line
: you can lose your car, which will be taken away by the police, and you will pay a corresponding fine. If this situation still happened, contact the organization where you rented a car. A blue road line shows that parking is paid, and there is a mandatory cash machine nearby. When driving a car, do not forget to let pedestrians pass at the crossings, even in those places where there are no traffic lights, and use special seat belts.
Permissible presence of alcohol in the blood must not exceed 0.8 ppm. Vehicle thefts in this area are not frequent, and yet, it is not necessary to leave personal belongings in the car showroom.
Communication on the island:
You can make a call from a simple payphone that accepts coins of 100, 50 and 25 pesetas. It is better to buy a special phone card (1000 or 2000 pesetas). The price of one minute of calling a Moscow number is about 1-1.5 dollars. You can also make a phone call from a hotel room, but in this case, the price of a call can be much higher. It is possible to rent a cell phone.
Tip:
In almost all restaurants, it is customary to give 5-10% of the total order. The same amount of tipping is common among taxi drivers. Porters and hotel maids also count on additional money.
Additional information:
Pharmacies. You can find a pharmacy by a green cross with the corresponding text “FARMACIA”. Opening hours of all pharmacy points from 9 to 13 and from 16 to 20 from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays, pharmacies are only open until lunch. On Sundays and at night, you can visit the on-duty pharmacy points “FARMACIA DE GUARDIA”, the location of which can be checked with the receptionist.

Mauritanian airlines Boeing 737 hijacked in Africa
Reuters
ALL PHOTOS
An Air Mauritania Boeing 737 with dozens of passengers on board was hijacked in northwestern Africa on Thursday, Reuters reported, citing Mauritanian police.
A domestic flight from the capital Nouakchott to the airport in Nouadhibou in northern Mauritania made an intermediate stop at Dakhla in Western Sahara for refueling – the hijackers wanted to fly to France. Soon, as Reuters, AP and AFP reported, he took off and headed for the Canary Islands (Spain), where, according to SkyNews, he landed at a military airfield near the city of Las Palmos (Gran Canaria), after which police special forces fired liner capture.
Later, officials questioned this information: shortly after the release of the hostages, the Spanish police reported that “the Moroccan authorities refused to land the plane for refueling in the city of Dakhla,” representatives of the Dakhla airport said the same, noting that the hijacked airliner did not land at the airport.
Air Mauritania CEO Mohammed Ould El Moktar
stated that the invaders demanded that the pilots fly to France, but the crew members refused, citing a lack of fuel. After that, the plane flew in the direction of Las Palmos. Regional media, as reported by NEWSru Israel , informed that the hijacker also demanded a landing in Morocco, but the local authorities refused him. A spokesman for the Moroccan Interior Ministry said they had not received any information about the hijacking.
According to BBC , the invader was alone and surrendered to the Spanish authorities without putting up any resistance. Western news agencies reported a shootout on board. According to some reports, several passengers in the hijacked airliner received gunshot wounds, ITAR-TASS reports with reference to the rescue services of the airport in Las Palmas.
Reuters, referring to the same operational services, confirms this information, noting that ambulances were sent to the airport. According to BBC correspondent in Madrid, at least one passenger was confirmed to have been shot.
At the same time, the representative of the Spanish government in the Canary Islands, on the air of the local radio station RNE, said that he could not confirm the information about the shootout. Spanish media report that neither the crew nor the passengers of the liner were injured, with the exception of one woman who suffered a nervous breakdown.
In turn, the official representative of the Spanish emergency services said that as a result of the incident, 20 people received minor cuts and bruises, but she did not know anything about gunshot wounds on board, as previously reported by a source in her department.
The head of Air Mauritania, Mohammed Ould el-Moktar, said that, according to the crew of the airliner, no one was injured, and the hijacker acted alone. “The lone hijacker was armed with two pistols, but it is questionable whether they were real,” he told Al Jazeera.
According to preliminary data, there were 71 passengers and 8 crew members on board, SkyNews reports. According to the Spanish newspaper El Pais, the hijacker is a Moroccan whose motives are not yet clear. According to unconfirmed reports, the hijacker initially demanded that the crew fly to Paris.
Meanwhile, a source close to the entourage of the President of Mauritania told Reuters that the passengers of the flight themselves tied up the person in charge of the hijacking at the moment when the plane was landing. The landing was hard, and as a result, the hijacker lost his balance and fell – which the hostages took advantage of.
According to the source, a man armed with pistols during the flight demanded to fly to France. However, the crew commander, having refueled with Dakhle, instead landed in the Spanish Canary archipelago. “During the landing, the pilot deliberately slowed down too much. The man was knocked down, after which the passengers jumped on him. He managed to shoot twice, but no one was seriously injured,” the Mauritanian source said.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses claim that several persons involved in the hijacking mingled with the passengers and, getting off the plane, disappeared. “There was at least one armed man on board, whose identity we do not know,” Musa Hamed, head of the Mauritanian state news agency, said.
