On the Road Again: U.S. Welcomes Travelers, Uber & Marriott Recover
The U.S. borders are once again open to international travelers, but a travel rebound puts even more pressure on airlines who are already short staffed. American Airlines is offering its employees 150% more than their usual pay to work on peak days this season. Marriott CEO Tony Capuano says the world is itching to get back to travel; many of his hotels are full as antiviral Covid-19 therapeutic pills become a reality and vaccinations become more widespread. And Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi says his business is also reaping the benefits of more travelers, with airport rides surging and more and more passengers back on the road. Plus, Elon Musk polled millions on Twitter, and the House has finally passed a $1T infrastructure bill--although the social safety net bill is back on hold. In this episode: Dara Khosrowshahi, @dkhos Tony Capuano, @Marriott Joe Kernen, @JoeSquawk Becky Quick, @BeckyQuick Katie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie
