Would you opt in for a faster line, or does the privacy risk make you pause? #News #CharlotteDouglas #TravelTech00Share
Eddie Webster+FollowCharlotte flyers pay most, workers struggleCharlotte Douglas Airport passengers have been hit with the highest airfare costs in the country—paying over $100 more per round trip than travelers at similar airports. Meanwhile, many airport workers, who keep everything running, are still earning as little as $12.50 an hour and facing tough conditions. Even though American Airlines dominates nearly 90% of the flights and the airport is booming, those benefits aren’t reaching employees or local families. Shouldn’t growth mean better pay and fairer prices? What changes would you want to see at CLT to make things better for both workers and travelers? #Safety #CharlotteDouglas #Airfare00Share
