While HSBC analysts are “intuitive” to envision stricter post-Brexit immigration rules, they are a major contributor to the staff shortage that has caused havoc on millions of British vacationers. I pointed out.
They say: “Vacancy rates against US unemployment are much tougher. Airline bosses have blamed the recent Brexit turmoil, but it seems to be at least as fierce as elsewhere in Europe.
“But as long as Brexit is affecting the depreciation of the currency, it could have affected inflation.”
Whether that is the case or not, Chaps refuses to relax immigration rules so that foreign workers can fill jobs that are still tied to the aviation industry.
The airline has asked the Minister of Transport to consider an approach similar to the crisis of truck driver shortage last fall.
They asked him to issue baggage handlers and check-in staff with temporary visas similar to those issued to fruit pickers, musicians and religious people.
Chaps states that “we will do everything we can to ensure” so that vacationers can escape. But I added: “The answer is not always to reach for the lever labeled” More Immigrants. ” “
Rapid immigration from Turkey
But the countries of the continent see things differently.
As the HSBC memo emphasizes, German vacationers suffer as much as British vacationers.
The reaction from Berlin is that the minister plans to rush to track immigrants from Turkey to the country.
This week, they said, vacant seats for work and baggage handling at check-in desks could be filled by people from countries located outside the EU.
Beyond the Atlantic Ocean, US airports prepare for turmoil every year before celebrating July 4th Independence Day. On Memorial Day at the end of May and a federal holiday on the weekend of June 16 two weeks ago, more than 3,000 flights were canceled and 19,000 flights were delayed. The reported 1,800 flights have already been canceled so far this week.
Unlike domestic flights, Europe and the United States are also facing the death of pilots as airlines are not keeping up with the surge in demand.
However, according to data from flight tracking company RadarBox.com, cancellations across Europe have more than doubled cancellations in the United States during April.
