“DFW gets relatively little snow, averaging about 1.7 inches per winter season, though totals vary significantly, with some winters seeing trace amounts and others experiencing significant accumulation.”


“Chicago O'Hare (ORD) Airport typically sees about 38 inchesof snow annually, with winters bringing around 28 snowy days, though totals vary significantly year-to-year, ranging from very little to over 80 inches during heavy seasons like 1978-79.”

I was responding to a post that said Atlanta gets a lot less winter weather. ATL gets an average of 2.9
inches of snow. Neither Metros experience real winters. It was 80 degrees during Christmas in Dallas.

Look at what happens to Delta in ATL when thunderstorms roll through or it snows. It takes Delta days to recover.

I predict this will fail and will last for a single summer.
They will probably give us more 3 hour sits to help mitigate crew misconnects.

Delta has problems because their operation isn't actually better than anyone else's, despite the lies they feed the public and their employees. They do things like beefing block time to make it appear better on normal days.

When **** hits the fan, they can't keep up.

Meanwhile American causes its own problems with things like unrealistic connections and underblocking the schedule. This block time increase and spreading out more banks will help solve the problems the airline has created for itself.
