These weather debacles can have effects that carry on longer than we think.
Geez, didn't realize FAA imposed a monthly time limit too (thought it was only daily). Timing out was a primary issue during the Oct 22 -23 debacle. In fact, on SWA I had a flight actually return to gate from tarmac after timing out due to the log jam on the runway. People on the flight actually started crying.
But SWA is a solid company - they sent everyone on the flight a $150 credit to say sorry. They handled the whole situation 100x better than AA. Too bad they don't have F.
