.......and you are mad at the airline
By the way, how long have you been living in YYT. This is normal for many times of the year.
I'm not mad at the airline at all. I'm annoyed that I have been delayed in YYZ for 3 days now, and the delays are being reported as due to weather. Local weather forecasts indicate 2-5 cm of snow and some freezing drizzle. We're not talking about the same weather patterns that caused the winter storm that hit the east coast last weekend. I have also been speaking to many people living near the airport (as I do), and the conditions do not seem severe enough to delay flights for 3 days, but I'm no expert.
I have been living in YYT for quite some time, and travelling just about every week for the past 7 years, so I think I'm in a position to recognize something peculiar when I see it
