perspective here is key....
while i completely understand the irritation of delayed and cancelled flights, irritation is a small price to pay for "not dead".

this is about safety...planes crash. i for one, and for those who know me can understand, think these cancelled flights are a WONDERFUL thing. It means, perhaps, someone did not die.

Kudos to the airlines, all of them, for finally putting safety before profits....if only for a little while.
