Yep, looking at some utilities and they indicate OO will have a CRJ-200 stay at MBS tonight (Why? I don't know, as we are in the path of the ORD storm too (although not as bad)).

I wonder what stations will get the extra overnights?
And upon further review, looks like DTW might have a couple stay there.
TVC looks to have one.
CVG looks to have one.
DAY *might* get one.
*** also, this is very unscientific. Just educated guesses based on number in (including the previous nights termination flight) and number out.

Interestingly, that's what Southwest did one time when hurricane closed HOU-Houston-Hobby airport. Flights that would usually go STL-OKC-HOU-PHX, just skipped HOU to go STL-OKC-PHX, for example.
I always kind of wondered why they couldn't. Take MBS for example.... seems if people were southbound or westbound, UA (via UX) could just change all the MBS-ORD to MBS-DEN or IAD. Granted, not everyone would be able to be accomidated so those would stay back, but since we are several hours ahead of the storm, it would have saved people on 2 out of the three flights today.
