Scott Kirby, United Airlines CEO, has been very public about the shortage of air traffic controllers -- which he says should be a top priority for the second Trump administration.

Every industry that caters to travelers is facing a huge, growing shortfall, particularly in Texas, home to two major airlines and a sprawling tourism sector.
