United Airlines cutting 35 flights per day from Newark Airport as problems persist

1. I haven't flown through Newark in years because of frequent delays.

It seems things have only gotten worse. We need a massive influx of controller training, but we could always consider investing in high speed trains/tracks to alleviate air congestion as some countries in Europe have done to get rid of short-haul flights like many of those in the Northeast. Italy invested in high-speed rail to Milan with great success. And, of course, Germany and France have many high-speed rail services. The great advantage is time, less pollution, and train stations right in cities so long, expensive taxi rides from airports miles from the city are not needed. We are so short-sighted in this country because big business pays the government to be shirt-sighted in their favor.
