Anyways, I feel for all of you going through DFW in this mess. I was flying through a couple of weeks ago when they were in storm recovery mode, and my DFW-DCA flight had a rolling delay for 2.5 hours as they were 'waiting for a first officer to be assigned to the flight', before they canceled. They had a plane, a pilot, and FAs, yet, had to have them sit around for a few hours because AA couldn't figure out how to assign a first officer to get that plane to leave? I even had a confirmed F upgrade, only the third time I cleared an upgrade in the last year.
I ended up flying two regional hops through Huntsville AL to make it to DCA, albeit I arrived about 6 hours late, but I did clear the upgrade on the second leg on a ERJ170 which counts I guess....
