Man I'm really glad I was not there today. Iv got lucky this winter with missing the storms.

 

To answer the question: Yes... Although we haven't had any broken airplanes yet.

Had 5 out of 6 flights cancel on the first 2 days of this 4 day trip. The whole trip is or was in and out of JFK. Somehow got stuck in DTW and the hotel was trying to make all of us (CA, FO, FA) share 1 hotel room the first night even though we had 3 different confirmation numbers. We were supposed to deadhead out today but the flights we were suppose to work cancelled and they made us move to another, albeit nicer, hotel in DTW (41 hours in DTW thus far). Tomorrow already lost 1 leg and will just be deadheading to JFK to fly to IAD which may or may not get cancelled. And to top it all off it's supposed to snow again in NYC on saturday, the go home day. FML... Lots of beer though... Tempted to just say fak it and get on a plane and go home.

Good for you buddy hope it all works out and I hope more people have the spine to stick up for themselves.

 

That was pretty amazing... "Where should we pile up all this snow we plowed off the ramp?" "Oh, I know, how about BEHIND THE AIRPLANES!!!!"

Brilliant!

 

Saw an email where one company was so complacent that multiple crews were stranded at the airport overnight. Talk about poor foresight, planning, and execution. Good thing they aren't trying to run an airline... Oh, I forgot they are. Just doing a terrible job of it.

 

thank goodness I was not working at IAD when the snow hit. The A gates is always a mess. I could only imagine with the snow

 

It was quite hilarious in IAD the other day. Supposed to be a IAD-STL flight that was delayed for 4 hours because of the huge snow bank. I guess the alley's have to be plowed by the airport because of a contract and Air Wisconsin refused to move it cuz they're not responsible past 10' or some arbitrary number in front of the gates. So the plane just sat there forever!

 

Nice of them to delay numerous flights over some sort of arbitrary rule although I heard Air Wis had only something like 10 or 15 people show up everybody else called in because they couldn't get to work. What a mess. More to come this week it looks like too, glad I'm off for that one!

 

Supposed to be an Ice Storm at IAD starting tonight around 8pm that carries into snow tomorrow.

However, Wednesday is supposed to be 50 and raining, hopefully melt all this stuff away!
