No person in their right mind would say, “Oh well I’m just going to have to stay here...I’ll just be at the airlines Mercy” I stayed at the airport to be put on standby. That’s why I got home last night instead on tonight.
Sympathy? HAH!
And I repeat my original point... a
"nightmare" is when you take off in the storm, the wings are iced over and you pinwheel back to the tarmac in a fiery wreck. That, my friend, is a
"nightmare." The fact that Continental (and all other carriers) chose not to fly in that weather when instead they could make money and avoid complaints from people like you... should indicate that it simply wasn't safe enough to fly. You should thank them for putting safety first.
As for your desire to switch to Delta, please don't. Then you'll be on the Delta board every day complaining that you didn't get your Biscoffs because turbulence kept the flight attendants in their seats.
