Nothing against SMF, but that is acclimation of the worst kind!

I've looked at Delta.com, nonrev alerts on travelnet, and all I see is a blurb saying "snowstorm at ATL (etc.) will affect travel 11-13 Feb. We'll cover rebookings..." basically.

Need some ATL WX irop experience help! What flights does Delta usually cancel when these IROPS happen, I've never really paid attention as I've been working and my flts went. Just the ones that transit ATL yes? If they travel from RSW > MSP > PHX, they shouldn't see any cancelled flights, correct?
Thx

Roadkill,

I tried with my parents last time. Instead of PHL-ATL-LAX I sent them PHL-DTW-LAX.

This may work but be careful. A lot of revenue passengers will also be rebooked to avoid ATL. Loads that looked great 1 day prior mostly filled up.

Hey Buzz and other LAX brethren.

Update please on today's dog and pony show.

Thx.

I can't help. I'm flying (actually deadheading). Maybe Scoop made it.

At least it's not JAN, they would have to put you on suicide watch.

Hey, there's several feet of fresh snow 2 hours away. If it were me, I'd make it a ski trip to Tahoe!!

Hence the security check leaving the airport to make sure you have no sharp objects!:D

Yahoonewsforlowinformationtypes: pilots often head to wrong airport!

8 wrong airport landings out of over 100 million flights over the last decade. It's an epidemic!

MD80's don't care...MD80's land where ever the hell they want to! :D

That was the case for an MD-80 captain who nearly landed his mid-sized airliner at Page Field, a small airport in Fort Myers, Fla., used mainly by private pilots, instead of the much larger Southwest Florida International Airport nearby. A controller caught the mistake in time and suggested the captain explain the detour by telling passengers the flight was "touring downtown" Fort Myers.

I remember flying the 727 into Page, (FMY) before the new RSW was opened!
