Yeah, I'm noticing that there aren't very many systemwide cancellations/delays, but the transatlantic flights are obviously suffering. Today, it seems to be better, but there's cancelled flights from PHL to both LHR and CDG tonight (I haven't checked for delays). What gives? It would seem that the mechanics union is targeting transatlantic flights but, if that's the case, they're going to get into a heck of a lot of legal trouble. Is it something else?
