It's obviously not hard to find anecdotal stories of woe when it comes to air travel. I mean, everyday there are tens of thousands of flights, so somebody is going to suffer a ridiculous delay. What I'm interested in is the overall delay stats which, I guess, are most easily measured in the ontime performance of the major airlines. Is somebody keeping close daily track of that here? On-time stats for particular airports would also be helpful as we could see where the real staffing problems are (and know which airports are particularly risky to fly to right now).
From a traveler standpoint, what worries me most here is making a flight connection. Given a choice, I think I'd prefer nonstop flights for the next couple of weeks until they resolve this.
