Pilot, ATC, and operational staffing is severely lacking. Everyone got greedy and bit off more than they can chew.

No, only the people supposed to be in control, and their pay check has been more than corrected for inflation. Maybe it should be corrected for performance. Or ours corrected the same as theirs.

holy smokes man, are you this depressed about everything?

go take a shower. Watch a live performance show, read a book, take a walk in the woods, hug a loved one. Do whatever makes you happy, but man, snap out of it. Perm travel reduction? No chance.
