The Federal Aviation Administration says flights departing for Los Angeles International Airport were halted briefly due to a staffing shortage at a Southern California air traffic facility.
Air travel is worse than trains, better than driving. Knowing America, people would only end up driving more. I personally don’t think that’s a good thing
People fly because it’s the fastest means of travel. The fastest trains will never be as fast as flying but people are also never going to be able to drive as fast as high speed rail.
Even once there is demand, it’ll be an uphill fight against an entrenched opponent profiting from inefficient transportation, but I’m optimistic that eventually it’ll happen.
I say do it! Air travel is a huge waste and harmful to the environment. Maybe this will finally lead to better trains!

You’d need to build high speed rail first
Won’t happen until there’s demand which won’t exist so long as flying is so accessible.
