The airlines landed a beatdown from the feds this summer because of repeated delays, waves of cancellations, and mountains of lost luggage.
Passengers saw long delays and found themselves waiting at the airport and on hold with customer service for hours.
JetBlue said 70% of its flights go to or through “the congested weather-prone northeast [U.S.] corridor, [so] JetBlue in particular feels these impacts and downline delays.”That’s way better than the summer. Now: FlightAware data show one 1.2% are getting grounded. Right, no strike. But some pilots are refusing overtime shifts. That can cause delays and cancellations with less wiggle room than legroom.
Hunt down information in advance about the next few flights to your destination -- in case your flight gets grounded.If there’s a problem, react immediately because you’ll be competing with everyone else on your flight to rebook a seat.
