The US airline industry is renowned for its dynamism and competitiveness, largely due to the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. This act has played a significant role in making air travel more accessible to a broader segment of the population. However, recent developments have sparked concerns regarding potential changes that could impact this accessibility.

In light of discussions about pursuing compensation within the United States, there is a call for attention to be redirected towards addressing issues like delays and cancellations. A major contributing factor to these disruptions is cited as the understaffed and outdated air traffic control system. It is suggested that focusing on these operational challenges could provide more immediate benefits than revisiting deregulation policies.
