Thank You SamOF.
AA had many diversions to TUS because of the PHX storms. It is my understanding that many of those planes eventually made it to PHX in the wee hours of the morning. I asked AA folks if I could wait and jump on one of those and they told me that it was not possible. Not sure if that is an AA rule or Federal Law, but that is beside the point. My aircraft COULD NOT make it to PHX because of a crew time out. It can't be called weather if all of the other planes are able to eventually get out.
Of course they can't have every type of crew available at every out station at all times. That wouldn't be cost effective. That said, they have a risk that this type of thing is going to happen and have to "self insure" and pay the costs associated with the issue.
I just want to be treated reasonably and fairly. And truthfully, I want that for everybody else too.
