Do you have a link to your source. I thought a significant amount of weather related delays in DFW occurred in April and May.

all I did was google it. Didn’t do much research.

Winter weather in DFW? I think we had one morning last year where they had the Deice trucks ready to go and nothing happened.

averages 2.6 inches of snow per year….again I just googled it.

do you not remember Ted Cruz fleeing to CUN as Armageddon swept over Texas?

“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.

A rolling hub is great when the weather is great (ATL). But when thunderstorms roll throughand departure/arrival gates get shut down the system gets overwhelmed and there is no longer any accumulator to absorb the shock. If the airport shuts down it’s even worse, it’s impossible to catch up.

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.

ok don’t think that’s what you said. And yes ATL gets a lot less winter weather than DFW.

anyways don’t care anymore good luck!

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.
