When you buy a ticket you agree to a set of rules-including follow instructions of the flight crew. It is 100% within the captain’s right to divert the aircraft if he/she believes there is an issue in the passenger cabin. Beyond that it is illegal to interfere with a flight crew.

@United Airlines town hall with employees today was “sobering.” Employees were warned the airline does not believe enough people have taken exit packages to avoid lay-offs and/or furloughs and “we are looking—at this point—at layoffs in the tens of thousands.”

Ground stops have been lifted. So today is going to operate a bit like a weather day in the northeast and Florida. The cause is unique but how this plays out is not. There will be delays. But planes are taking off and landing.

. @USDOT to “examine” @SouthwestAir holiday cancelation meltdown. Agency says it is “concerned by Southwest Airlines’ disproportionate and unacceptable rate of cancellations and delays as well as the failure to properly support customers experiencing a cancellation or delay.”

FAA is investigating after SW147 veered off course while attempting to land at LGA in bad weather in 3/23. It appears the plane may have flown over or close to the ATC tower. Tower is 233 ft tall, the plane was as low as 300 ft before ATC told it to go around.
