This was a first for me:
Last night on UA5751 (SAV-IAD) on 5/22, everyone was boarded and the jet bridge pulled away, but a minute or two later, the pilot apologizes that he just got a call "from headquarters" and the flight was canceled. Groans commence as SAV is simply not set up to handle this many pax issues at once.
During the subsequent 2 hours we spent in line to speak to an agent (I just wanted hotel and meal vouchers, as I immediately called to get re-booked the following day), the universal question among us was whether the claim that weather was the reason for cancellation was legitimate. After all, we were ready to take off and the intermittent rain had subsided hours earlier...
