So for 3 back to back runs, they have about 1 hr for connections. i.e. SFO-ORD-SFO-ORD-SFO-ORD-SFO. In the event of weather, suppose ORD-SFO arrives late, would that impact the following SFO-ORD? So could the first missed connection cause a ripple down the pipe and screw everything over.

My main concern is can a snow storm put hitting EXP at risk due to rescheduled flights? Or so long as I have the flights booked means that I'm flying that route (at a potentially very delayed time).

And would AA put up passengers in hotels due to weather, or would that be out of my pocket?

Thanks!
