Well, yes and no. If is so bad that no one is flying, then, of course, who can blame the airlines? And we do all want to be safe! However, sometimes it depends on the equipment the airline is flying. I had that experience in LAX where my AirCal flight was grounded and UAL, and others, were flying. I finally got flown out to a nearby airport and bused to my destination. I was so incredibly late that a friend who had driven LAX to SFO beat me! And AirCal would not tell anyone the real reason the flights were being cancelled. BAD NEWS - but gone now...
