Heading into the 4th of July weekend, the travel industry is preparing for many operational challenges. 3,000 flights have already been canceled this week, with American Airlines and Delta canceling the most.

Off-duty Delta pilots are expected to picket outside airports tomorrow to demand better pay, benefits, and schedules. » Subscribe to NBC News:
