Yuuuup. It's started.
There's something like 1200 agents at Denver International Airport. Salary reports are all over the place, but $50k seems like a good middle mark for the average agent salary - or $24/hour.
That's good money, but not "have months of all your expenses saved" money.

So next week is when the TSA managers I talk to expect the first wave of mass resignations to hit.

Every good programmer I know has been saying this to me for months; meanwhile every not-great programmer I know has been trying to outsource their work to ai, causing more issues/delays than they if did it themselves.
