Does DL purchase hotel space or otherwise for essential staff during weather events like this? Given how busy the Thanksgiving travel season is, I doubt there's enough slack in the system to rebook a substantial people around MSP and SLC. I'm sure it's expensive, but I imagine there's plenty of hotel space immediately nearby that could be used.
Happy to be doing SEA-SAN and skipping the middle of the country this Thanksgiving.
