BOS mess 2/14/16
Anyone know why jetBlue has been such a mess at Logan today? I've been listening to LiveATC all day and jetBlue planes are delayed left and right while other airlines are on-time. There's no weather here other than the fact that it's cold (wind chills of -20.) The attachment is a snippet from FlightStats of scheduled arrivals between 12 & 6 PM; about 1/3 of the flights are on-time and some of those that are late are really late (2 hours+ in many cases; 2580, EWR-BOS, is 8.5 hours late.). I primarily ask because I'm on a flight tomorrow morning and I hope this doesn't ripple.

All depends on route. Snow turning to freezing rain in the mid-Atlantic may affect B6's major hub at JFK and beyond.
What goes on with other carriers is dependent on those other carriers' routes and their hubs.

That plus some of the trucks supplying fresh water froze up as well. Combine that with the weather mess farther south and you get the sort of cluster that started Sunday and continued Monday. My RDU flight out of Boston was delayed 2.5 hours due to weather at BWI affecting the inbound flight.

I had friends on an early JetBlue flight that morning. They sat for nearly 2 hours at the gate -- first waiting for fuel (the pilot said that several crews called in sick), and then waiting for a heating truck to thaw out the lav.
