To answer haruspex's question, Indepenence Air maintains the policy of not overbooking flights.
Cheers.
I saw the DH COO on a recently flight (IAD-ORD) and he told me that the middle two weeks of july set a record in the airline industry for the most weather related delays. In all honesty there is nothing you can do about it. Especially because the airlines dont make the calls on weather to fly or not.
