In the last video of the series "Expert Data Wrangling with R", Garrett gives a final project to test one's skills. The code that he shows for generating the boxplot graph of all airlines and their arrival delays misses two lines.

Namely, before trying to left_join flights with airlines, both columns of airlines must be converted to characters:

airlines$carrier <- as.character(airlines$carrier)
airlines$name <- as.character(airlines$name)

If they are not converted, there are hundreds of levels in the factor variables corresponding to the airlines columns, which make the boxplot graph unusable.
