Basically all of the flights that were supposed to return to the hub tonight and tomorrow are staying at the outstation until sunday, along with their crews. Those aircraft that were going to be left in Houston were evacuated last night and earlier today to various outstations.

As far as the company giving us time to prepare, well, it's an airline. They're looking after their own flight operations first. Most of us were able to evacuate with an airplane (I was out last night), but there are plenty of people who were expected to remain on reserve during all of this. Those people (rightly) got the hell out on their own accord without any word from the company. The IAH chief pilots were great about getting people released from duty, but "officially" the company "couldn't guarantee" that everyone could be released.
