And they're lying. What surprised me the most yesterday wasn't that my flight was again cancelled, it's that when I went back to talk to my siblings about our tight connection on AA, there were 18 seats available between Row 2 and 18. I fully expected the plane to be packed since all but a few DL flights to any hubs were cancelled for 2 days already.
