Yep, it doesn't take much to totally screw up IAH. Add to that the fact that CO has decided they want planes 100% full and you leave no room for any irregularities of a small scale let alone a weather "event". There are hundreds of misconnects today, hopelessly standing-by (like 20 or 30 on an already full plane) because there isn't any wiggle room built into the load factor. Full planes are a good thing in theory but does it actually hurt the bottom line in the end?

Not to mention, forget about trying to use our pass privileges much any more. It's very frustrating.
