Ok so today was interesting at work. Atlanta along with a large portion of the east coast had some bad weather today, icing, snow, rain and high winds. This in turn prevented a lot of flights from leaving and delayed all of the flights in and out of ATL. Our flights both 545 and 546 outbounds were delayed for well over 4 hours, they canceled over 400 flights and delayed hundreds more. We had pax asking us the same questions over and over every 5 min. I understand peoples frustration with not getting to their destinations but really do you have to yell and get cranky and lose all mental capacity. For instance we had a couple that came up we told them that their flight from ATL to TPA was canceled and the earliest we could get them there was Tuesday that pissed them off they demanded we move them to another flight or another airline. When we told this couple that if we are canceled and delayed everyone else is going to also all airlines and sure enough USair and Delta were canceled and everyone else. They still insisted we fix this problem not listening to us when we told them we have no control over weather, this is an act of GOD not an act of ME.
Finally got the flights out and most of the connections made it but we still had our night flight which left ontime no issues worked out great. We got pizza fed to us and all was good. As a reminder to all people out there: Weather = no help from the airlines at all. It is as simple as that.
Well my bedroom is burning up I am hot so time to shut the computer down and go to bed get to wake up in the morning early and go back to doing this all over again yay.
