It is interesting and I will be curious to see if the trend continues as will many others. Especially considering this quote:
"According to FAA latest data released on Jan. 12, 2022’s rate of unruly incidents (so far) has dropped approximately 50% from the record highs reached around this point in 2021."
All news doesn't have to be earth shattering
Your quote there is what we call a meaningless and misleading statistic. What does 50% off the previous year's high even mean? Why are they comparing the first 11 days of the year to the high point of 2021? Why not the average of the whole year of 2021? Or even better why not the first 11 days of 2021? Why do they make it ambiguous and say "around this point" lol? This is the type of data and statistic manipulation CNN/MSNBC loves to do.
As another person said this is just clickbait. A nothing burger
