Makes me think of the numerous times that HP couldn't fly to West coast airports in fog 'cause their planes didn't have the Catagory II or III instrument rating. At the same time WN was operating flights with minimal delays.
Of course if you were holding a HP ticket you were SOL 'cause it was "weather"

If an airline cancels a flight for weather reasons THANK THEM. Even if they have been too cautious THANK THEM. I say this as a private pilot you never want to take a chance.

Airlines, in general, do not have credibility when it comes to the weather excuse. The only way they will get credibility is if they can document the reason in some detail and communicate that at the time of the incidence as well as for an oversight process later on that is transparent.

having a plane crash would also provide documentation-especially if there were a lot of injuries and a big fire they couldn't put out? Of course, some would say, that's only one plane.
