ContinentalFan: As a fan of your always well-reasoned posts, I am a little surprised by this sniping.

Also, just to be clear on the real issue during the Valentine's Day Massacre, it wasn't so much the headline-grabbing 10 hr delays, which were actually part of normal procedure at B6 (for better or for worse).

The real breakdown came in the ensuing days when the airline came to near standstill because of real issues with its basic operations.
