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
Correct. The article is poorly written and meant for click bait. Read the FAA linked article and it will make more sense when seeing their charts and what they are referencing.
