I fly 200K + a year on United. This was my first Continental flight. Is this typical?
Not to rub salt into the wound but that flight would have connected in CLE flight 2961 and the flight was not cancelled last night it left 41min late and went to OKC. Due to the obvious weather our operations were pending due to operating conditions in the airport but that flight was *NOT* cancelled.
Reports from my family and friends to me told me at one time the airports actually ran out of deicing fluid and the airport in TUL lost power Monday and all flights were cancelled there.. I am so glad I was not home visiting family this weekend.
