What is going on with summer ops?
13 Cancelled flights on the JFK board today. No rain. No storms. No clouds.
Heard (rumor) we canceled 5 x as many flights yesterday as Delta and United...

Live Airline Flight Cancellations Info & Statistics ? FlightAware
There are the numbers. 65 today. Guessing not due to current weather but due to the wx yesterday and crews/airplanes not being in position, as well as low reserve numbers, along with the weather in Florida disrupting some of the Florida flights? I dunno, I don't look into much anymore. Don't care unless it affects me and my flights/commutes. It's ATC's fault. But delta and AA were just fine in the same ATC system.

...and the company will blame it all on ATC.
JB management either doesn't understand that you can't stuff 10 lbs of poop into a 5 lb bag, or they do understand that and this is a convenient excuse for ATC reform.
Trying to brainwash our employees and our passengers into believing our pathetic on-time percentage isn't their fault, it's all ATC. We know better.
Gup

Gotta love how the organizations that are last to upgrade their infrastructure- the airlines - squawk most about ATC upgrading its infrastructure.
GPS? Airlines last to install it. ADS-B? Airlines got exemptions and extended the deadline. Reservations? 1950's programming.
But let's privatize the system so it has no accountability to Congress.
Because it's the fault of ATC. Scheduling too many flights into an overcapacity airport has nothing to do with it of course. Let me know when ATC gets in the business of building runways.
