Alghabra said the cash will allow the CTA to hire 200 people to speed up work on clearing a massive backlog of 42,000 complaints against airlines.RECOMMENDED VIDEO“Forget about hiring 200 more officials to process 42,000 complaints,” Dee tweeted. “Send each complainant $1,800 and close the file. In any case, it shows just how ridiculous it is to focus on facilitating complaints vs. preventing disruptions.

Dee predicts that, unless the root causes of the problems are resolved, they will simply return and be amplified in the busy flying seasons. There will be more complaints and taxpayers will once again have to pay.
