So this mornings GSO-IAD was canceled. The plane that was supposed to fly this trip was backed up at CMH last night with an etd to IAD of 11:50p, as of about 7p. However, IAD to GSO (10p departure) showed only an hr delay and this mornings GSO-IAD showed on time. :rolleyes:
Predictably at 11:30 or so, when CMH pushed back, both GSO legs canceled.
Now on GSO-EWR this morning, the same thing is happening. The aircraft scheduled to fly the trip is backed up 2hrs and the 2nd and subsequent downline flights (EWR-GSO-EWR) still show on time.
Seems like this is either poor programming or general overconfidence/incompetence of operations. nothing ever gets back on sched out of Newark, it just gets worse and it seems like a lack of transparency to not acknowledge early on that flights are likely to be delayed if not canceled to give customers better grips on the situation and allow them to explore options.
Rant off.
