Brussels Airlines makes 3,000 unnecessary flights to maintain airport slots
Whereas in the US necessary flights have been cancelled left and right.  I had to take a series of flights in the past two weeks, and it was an absolute mess.  By the third trip, I honestly had no expectation that my flight would take off on time, if at all.<p>That and getting a PCR test this week in the NYC area seems totally non-functional.  Appointments have to be made days in advance, for results which can several days to come back.  It's a far cry form Germany where I can get same day service at any number of testing centers, and pay to get expedited results if I need to.<p>How can these systems  be so broken, and why isn't capitalism solving them?
