YesterdayI just got a text saying that my PBI-ATL-PHL may be eligible for a weather waiver change.
I don't see any massive storms scheduled and nothing on the web site or the app.
Waiting for a call back. Anyone else get this?

It is up on the DL websire. 6/19 - 6.21 for basically the DC - NY corridor.
EDIT: On DL.com look in that deep blue bar that runs under the pretty picture. In the middle is the advisory link.

Does extreme heat affect flight scheduling? Or is it just because many people will want to cancel their trips?Originally Posted by flyerCO
Extreme weather across the US. AA has a waiver for PHX due to record breaking temps.

Also, hot air is less dense, so it decreases an aircraft's lift. This usually requires longer takeoff rolls, among other things.Originally Posted by paterwdb

Hmmm, I'm doing LAX-JFK redeye today and JFK-SFO tomorrow evening. I'll just stick around JFK tomorrow and work/attempt to SDC all day and play it by ear I guess. Fun! 
Is it worth doing something like changing JFK-SFO to LGA-ATL-SFO or something with a short hop with lots of frequency up front to get out of the weather and give me a better chance to get to SFO at some point tomorrow?

i wouldn't. JFK-SFO gets fairly high priority, almost as good as intl.

Theres also issues with certain parts only being rated to certain temps. Ie tires. Finally i believe theres also the issue of heat stroke for employees. Just becomes to hot to work safely.Originally Posted by jrl767
not sure how (if at all) flight deck automation has impacted this, but in the days when crews had to carry paper copies of the airplane flight manual and look up takeoff distances and speeds on the pages of performance curves, the data only went to 120 degrees F and could not be extrapolated for higher temps ... the pilots had to wait for the temp to drop before taking off
