Default Winter Storms and Your Airline

Has every Regional Airline been having Issues with all these storms???

Damaged/Broke Airplanes, running out of hotels for crews, multiple (pointless) deadheads...

Everyone dealing with the same stuff?

Are there specific airports that are coming to mind, or in general? It seems that whenever they see one snowflake at IAD it turns into an instant 2 hour delay.

Yesterday was my last day at my dump of an airline, after 6 years. I had a great 4 day and on day 4 one leg that got me in at 10 and I was to catch a 11 am flight home. Well on the van ride to the airport on day Scheduling left me a msg that said I was to operate a flight to LGA and back(nice LGA WX yesterday). After getting everything ready for my flight I called Scheduling to inform them that I would be operating my flight back to base and I refused the LGA flight. He said well it's on your schedule and you'll have to talk to a chief pilot. I replied "do what ya gotta do" But I will be catching my flight home. Got to CVG turned my stuff in and caught my flight home. When I turned my ID in at 10am I was the 9 person to do so already yesterday. Checked my schedule when I got home and saw they removed the flight and did nothing about it. The flight went to LGa but the return flight CX, so I would have been JM'd into my resignation. F THEM I'M happy to be gone and never want to see that company again. Sorry for the rambling but OH sucks and so does each and every person in the GO. I've got a long time off now and I'm going to enjoy being gone from OH!!

What difference does it make? They are all basically the same.

Personally I was a fan of the 10ft tall snow piles the plows pushed at the end of each alleyway at the A gates in IAD today.
