I wholeheartedly agree. I can't remember which late-nite TV host referred to B6 as "really more of a May-to-September airline" a few years back, but it really struck a chord with me after my third cancelled trip in 2 years due to a few snowflakes at JFK. I just don't fly B6 in the winter, even though they're my preferred domestic carrier when the weather's nice and they fly where I'm going. Burned too many times.
Every airline has issues when the weather turns at a hub, but the majors have a bit more slack to handle it - and much better customer service infrastructure.
