The airlines are not way down in staffing from pre-pandemic levels. In august 2022, air Canada had 34,000 employees as compared to 34,700 pre-pandemic. And there is no way 80% of the employees at the airlines are new. Although I’d be happy to entertain your assumption if you had any stats to back that up.
And I agree that the airports are busy - and the timing and frequency of fights for some cites are terrible - but that doesn’t mean the supply (I.e. available seats) is not there.
