It's definitely complicated, and I oversimplified to make a point. And you're right that, I'm sure, plenty goes on behind the scenes that we don't know about. But I have a nagging feeling that if there was a big more of an incentive for airlines to rectify these situations, and they weren't just protected in waving the white flag and hollering "Weather!!!", we'd probably see some innovation and results.
