Be warned: This holiday season will be the busiest on highways in U.S. history, AAA says. This is in addition to 2019 being the busiest holiday travel period at the nation's airports in 16 years.A record 115.6 million Americans are expected to travel from Saturday, Dec. 21 through Wednesday, Jan. 1. The figure is expected to be the largest since AAA began tracking holiday travel. AAA estimates 104.8 million will travel by car, a record according to AAA, in addition to 6.97 million who will travel by plane and 3.81 million who will travel by train. AAA said there are a number of reasons why travel is expected to be high this holiday season. “Holiday cheer is at an all-time high this year, with unemployment at historically low levels, and noted improvements in both disposable income and household net worth,” said Paula Twidale, vice president, AAA Travel. “Travelers should be getting used to crowded highways and airports, as this marks the eighth straight year of new record-high travel volumes for the year-end holidays.”One bit of good news for travelers is that gas prices are expected to continue dropping through the holidays, although the national average will likely be slightly higher than last December's average of .37 per gallon. 1266

As the coronavirus spread globally, a canceled work trip here and there turned into a worldwide shutdown for business travel by air.The global airline industry is now on the brink of collapse. And while pressing pause for a few days or a week is strange enough, a freeze on business-class travel that lasts for several weeks or months has the potential to reshape why people fly. After a decade of huge growth, airlines are preparing for a staggering drop in revenue worldwide. Concerns over the coronavirus have crippled demand for flights, which in turn has caused many airlines to ground their fleets and lay-off staff.Recently JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes called this financial situation for airlines, "at least as bad as 9/11 if not worse."But even with a bailout, it could take months for travelers to fully return to the skies. In the meantime, a lot of business will go on without air travel.With huge advances in telecommuting and a growing acceptance of working from home, businesses have taken to platforms like Slack, Zoom and Skype to carry on with meetings while many miles apart.To understand the impact of losing business class travel, you have to understand how valuable business class tickets are to airlines. It might just be a few seats, but on many flights, premium seats actually account for most of the money the flight will make. Let's explain.Let’s look at a roundtrip flight scheduled for the first week in August between JFK and LAX. The round trip fare for an economy passenger costs 9. For a business class passenger that seat is ,867. And finally for a first class passenger the cost is ,032. In total, if everyone pays full price for their ticket, the airline makes ,362.But notice the distribution. If you do the math, you see that although business and first class travelers only make up 28% of the passengers on the flight, they account for 60% of the flight's revenue. This model doesn't describe every flight. But when it comes to airline economics, business and first class passengers have an outsized impact on many airlines' revenue. "They care a lot about business class travelers," says airline pricing expert Andy Boyd. "The other part about the business class travelers is not just the seat but business travelers become very connected with their brand and they fly a lot. It’s not just the money they make from the one seat, but what they get over time."Boyd literally wrote the book on airline ticket pricing. He believes airlines could bounce back, but he also says the virus could accelerate some trends already in motion for business travel."It could be a catalyst," Boyd says. "But what is really interesting, the new generation has grown up with technology, with cell phones. The fact that you are doing what many older people would call, very informal communication is more and more accepted as formal communication. So as young people who have grown up with technology get older, they may find that they are just as happy doing things over the phone as they are getting on a plane and going somewhere."Those combined factors could spell long-term impacts for the airline industry beyond the spread of the coronavirus. "Normally I would tend to say we would just get over it and the world would just get back to normal," Boyd says. "But with this particular virus and the way that people have responded to it, we may see some actual real changes to the way that both business and economy travelers travel." 3474

Boeing employees knew about problems with flight simulators for the now-grounded 737 Max and apparently tried to hide them from federal regulators, according to documents released Thursday.In internal messages, Boeing employees talked about misleading regulators about problems with the simulators. In one exchange, an employee told a colleague they wouldn’t let their family ride on a 737 Max.Boeing said the statements “raise questions about Boeing’s interactions with the FAA” in getting the simulators qualified. But said the company is confident that the machines work properly.“These communications do not reflect the company we are and need to be, and they are completely unacceptable,” Boeing said in a statement. Employees also groused about Boeing’s senior management, the company’s selection of low-cost suppliers, wasting money, and the Max.“This airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys,” one employee wrote.Names of the employees who wrote the emails and text messages were redacted.The Max has been grounded worldwide since March, after two crashes killed 346 people. The crash that month of an Ethiopian Airlines flight had been preceded in October 2018 by the crash of a brand-new Max operated by Indonesia’s Lion Air.Boeing is still working to update software and other systems on the Max to convince regulators to let it fly again. The work has taken much longer than Boeing expected.The latest batch of internal Boeing documents were provided to the Federal Aviation Administration and Congress last month and released on Thursday. The company said it was considering disciplinary action against some employees.An FAA spokesman said the agency found no new safety risks that have not already been identified as part of the FAA’s review of changes that Boeing is making to the plane. The spokesman, Lynn Lunsford, said the simulator mentioned in the documents has been checked three times in the last six months.”Any potential safety deficiencies identified in the documents have been addressed,” he said in a statement.A lawmaker leading one of the congressional investigations into Boeing called them “incredibly damning.”“They paint a deeply disturbing picture of the lengths Boeing was apparently willing to go to in order to evade scrutiny from regulators, flight crews, and the flying public, even as its own employees were sounding alarms internally,” said Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., chairman of the House Transportation Committee.DeFazio said the documents detail “some of the earliest and most fundamental errors in the decisions that went into the fatally flawed aircraft.” DeFazio and other critics have accused the company of putting profit over safety.The grounding of the Max will cost the company billions in compensation to families of passengers killed in the crashes and airlines that canceled thousands of flights. Last month, the company ousted its CEO and decided to temporarily halt production of the plane in mid-January, a decision that is rippling out through its supplier network. 3066
