"Delta CEO amazed as 'revenge travel' fuels $300B tourism boom in America"

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian revealed that Americans' thirst for "revenge travel" is beyond anything that people can classify as truly pent-up, with a gap of $300 billion in inherent demand for U.S. travel that couldn't be met over the past three years. Delta is currently seeing demand it's never seen before, and there's no end in sight. The airline industry as a whole struggled to upskill their workers and hire new ones to meet demand last summer, but this summer, Delta has hired over 25,000 people who are trained, experienced, and ready to face the crowds.
