Apparently, FAA is severely understaffed now, with a lot of traffic controllers doing jobs of multiple people. And it's also worth that the remaining people are under more pressure meaning that they're more likely to quit putting even more pressure on those that remain. So, this is a self reinforcing problem. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/over-90-percent-u-s-airport-towers-understaffed-air-traffic-controllers-data-shows/
