Airlines

Now that it's April and we're past the worst of the winter weather I'd just like to congratulate the major airlines on how they handled the storms of the last few months. The winter of 06-07 was a weekly nightmare with people stranded for days and days at almost every major airport. This time around we had fewer serious disruptions.
I think there were two major reasons behind this. Planes aren't flying at such full capacity this year. Whether that is because they've added flights or have fewer overall passengers I don't know but it helps out quite a bit. The second reason is that the airlines have become much more proactive about calling passengers whose flights have been canceled.
There is a third reason. Passengers have become much better about finding weather forecasts and avoiding the bad storms. We've regularly had people move flights up a few hours just to make sure they get 'there' and that helps.
In any case, this year was much easier than last. Thanks.
