But storms were only one factor behind the travel nightmare. Staffing shortages, at both US airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration’s air traffic control operations, took a bad situation and made it worse.The situation at US airports was only slightly better Wednesday.

Storms in the Boston area caused a groundstop there early Wednesday, keeping planes destined for Logan Airport at the gate or parked on the tarmac at airports around the country.Although that’s better than the 2,200 canceled flights in each of the last two days, or the more than 16,000 delayed flights between Monday and Tuesday, it’s hardly a smooth-running operation.Staffing shortageThe US air travel system i...
