LAX to ORD AS 1232 , typical O’Hare delay
Typical O’Hare delay now going on 2 hours in LAX. Should of stuck to my guns and went home to Seattle overnight then fly from Seattle to Milwaukee with a train to downtown Chicago. Instead stayed in a hotel in LA another night for this leg. O’Hare just sucks.
Literally just notified now delay nearing 3 hours.

funny that the same storm affects Milwaukee and same snow pattern in winter. I’ve been lucky that the Seattle to MKE flight has not once cancelled or significantly delayed.
Its the organization and crowds of ohare. One flight delay for 15 minutes kicks every single plane down the line which leads to hour delays and most frustrating is the uncertainty.
So in response I have no issues with the humans capabilities to respond to inclement weather but rather Ohare itself.

Pretty typical AIrbus F behavior. I've had it a couple times this year and have observed passengers around me with the same issue.

And, there are plenty of times every day around the world when - no matter what airport and no matter how few planes are involved - flying isn't possible and schedules can't be met simply because of inclement weather. No human involvement required.
