You made me laugh, exAC! I'm not assuming a conspiracy I am also not an advocate for attempting to land in unsafe conditions, and would definitely prefer "an airline that was conservative and safe than, one that would risk my neck to save a round of ground vouchers" as Doc Fraud said. I would rather be bussed or ferried or not go at all, instead of risking my life.

Three full days of cancellations by all airlines (with delays for planes that actually landed) are not normal for average winter weather is what I'm noting here, and I'd rather be told of equipment malfunctions or breakdowns so I can plan accordingly. If the weather is bad, and expected to be bad for a period of time, I'll rebook for a later date. However, if the forecast reads light snow and drizzle, I'll take my chances at the airport and remain hopeful. However, if there are equipment problems that may not be resolved for a while, I won't cool my heels at the airport. Just tell me what the problem is, so I can make reasonable plans.

ExAC, I don't think I was clear enough in my first post, so sorry for the confusion. It's not as though I haven't been through delays and cancellations over the years, and I do expect more during winter months. But clear communication from an airport authority or an airline or the pilot and FAs goes a long way toward customer satisfaction. I don't think anyone would call that unreasonable.

Is it possible that the ILS (if that indeed is the problem) does malfunction frequently or is unable to function because of certain conditions frequently? I am asking these questions because I truly don't know.
