The traffic maps are INSANE!!!!! Hats OFF to Air traffic controllers!!! That’s an amazing job! U NEVER EVER realize how much traffic there is in the sky, we can’t see the highway from the ground. And in the air, it feels like your up there alone. It’s THOUSANDS of flights in the air at any given moment. FASCINATING!!
Very educational. I was flying to Dallas (AA) last year, beautiful flight until we were outside of Houston. We had to divert to Houston because Dallas had a big rain storm. We sat on the tarmac for 4 1/2 hrs. The crew was fantastic and the customers understood. Some got off in Houston🤷🏽 We landed in Dallas safely. Received an email from corporate apologizing. They gave everyone 16,000 miles.
random fact, I am in school to become a a&p (aircraft mechanic) and also getting my pilot license (at the same time and 70% with the pilot license) and I wanted to do air traffic control but due to my age (being over the age of hired) I couldn't do it, I also fell in love with weather in this field, these people do a lot to keep out butts safe everyday ESPECIALLY during the holidays, I tip my hat off to anyone in the aviation community..
This is why I thank pilots, flight Attendants, and mechanics whne I see them in the airport or hotels. THANK U! And DEFINITELY Police, Fire Rescue and Military. They ALWAYS get a “thank you for your service” from me. I interrupt conversations to say so. I’ve taught my nephew to do the same. I remember how it felt when someone thanked me whne I was in patrol, so I understand the impact it had on me when you feel so hated and unappreciated.
Weather can cause MAJOR delays and screw up the whole system... It may be clear where you are but your destination or where your plane is coming from may be in chaos.
This has really affected me and my wife being in the military and relying on air travel to see each other. Saving leave and wasting it at airport after airport, losing more leave days not being able to make it back in time and making the wait to see each other longer and longer.
What people don't realize is the sheer number of variables that have to function for a flight to go at all, let alone on time. Many airlines are suffering staffing shortages, not only for pilots (like me), but for support staff. Ramp workers are often a huge constraint. And there are only so many who can be available at any one time. A plane that has to hold for 20 minutes because Denver shut down for a thunderstorm might share a ground crew with a plane that arrived on time, but at the same time as the delayed flight. This is a simple example, but it's meant to show just how quickly the situation can spiral out of control. Another unfortunate thing is the legality of pilots and flight attendants. One flight crew might transition from a 737-700 which needs 3 flight attendants to a 737-800 on the next, and that requires 4. But the fourth was delayed on their inbound, which means you can't even start the boarding process. No passengers are allowed on the plane without the full compliment of flight attendants. And pilots have much better and stricter work rules. The flight attendants often get jerked around like pawns the worst. So if you're on a flight, particularly this summer, try to say thank you and be courteous to the FAs and your fellow passengers. It really gets paid forward when someone does something nice. And the opposite is true when we don't. The flight attendants in particular often have the least impact on the success of the flight (they are there for the in case scenario), but they bear the brunt of the reaction to a bad experience.
Thanks for the info, I definitely try to always thank the FA’s during and after a flight, as well is the pilot(s) if their accessible at the end of the flight. So thank you for all you do, getting people to and from their destinations safely. It’s definitely a hard job!
So true. This happens almost weekly. I know some people look up on their phones to see if they is weather issues at their destination and flip if they see it’s good weather but fail to realize surroundings states or areas have weather issues going which the plane has to go through. Also some airport runways like in Dallas, are not suited for snow and freeze. which is why a few months ago they were not letting planes land or take off for half of the day at Dallas.
A long time ago when PSA was still around, my flight from San Francisco to Seattle was delayed for a long time waiting for connecting passengers. The captain apologized after taking off and gave us free drinks on that fight.
Weather? 😂 Google Pilot shortage 2022, and you will see how plane trips get cancelled due to the labor shortage from pilots being fired in 2020 to cut cost, and they did not rehire enough in 2021 for the summer travel in 2022. CNBC, nice try covering up for the airlines & airports. I’m sure the surging fuel prices are not helping either.
A lot were earlier retirement and buy outs in 2020. Those who were furloughed have been brought back on. Yes there is a shortage as well. As mentioned in this whole video weather is a huge factor of these delays
I had a delta flight delayed by 10hrs because pilot called off and couldn’t find a replacement. Then following morning it was delayed again because crew was late. It’s a staffing issue more than a weather issue.
Cancel the short routes like 1 to 2 hours and build suitable high speed trains, build more multiple stories high buildings instead of single home suburbs and so on the delays are an effect of false planing of American infrastructure.
These kinds of comments always make me laugh. Perhaps you want to live stacked up in a high rise building on top of other people, but many Americans don't. Many don't want to live in big, crowed, noisy urban areas. The single family house, a yard, and a dog IS the essence of the American dream. I know I don't want to live in communal, caged, crime ridden, breeding ground for infection, with no gardening space. Not to mention the majority of the people in the suburbs actually work out in the suburbs... many housing developments are centered around commercial developments. Generally there is enough local transportation to get where they need to go. They aren't flying from suburbs to the nearest city... Seriously. If you live more than 30 minutes from the nearest urban city and can't get a bus you are rural. Rural US is where the agriculture, manufacturing and industry is. You are never going to get everyone out of those areas. That's where the complaint about low population density is actually truest. And the government isn't going to waste money running any useful public transportation out to remote areas. So you just make the drive, no big deal. The problem is that the US is a big country. Making more large urban areas does not solve any "problems". To go from large urban area to large urban area, you STILL have to travel. You will still need to be able to cross from State to State or go cross country. One to 2 hour routes may seem short to you, but that's a big distance when you talk about driving, or Amtrak trains. Consider this--- A 1-2 hour flight for me is Cleveland, OH to New York City. Cleveland is urban, NYC is of course. That's almost 8 hrs and 470 mi of driving. The people who can afford to fly are going to fly that distance. The real problem is the US is too cheap to put any money into infrastructure. Sure they could build a high speed train from Cleveland to NYC. But currently, roads and bridges continue to crumble around the country. As as long as the folks with money can continue to pay to fly, why would they bother to put money into building the costly infrastructure for high speed trains, not when they can put that money in their pockets?
@@SomethingBeautifulHandcrafts you speaking nonsense. “…Enough public transport”, I stopped reading your nonsense. If you don’t live in NYC or Chicago you are doomed. Not everyone can drive. Have you seen the public transport times. 2 hours for a 10 mile journey and services only available during morning.
But can someone explain why my 6am flight from VA to Miami was cancelled due to ‘weather’ with not a single ounce of a weather issue, rain, storm -nothing- up and down the east coast for 2 days and as far as Louisiana from what the weather channel predicted. Rain on Tuesday in Kansas shouldn’t cancel a Saturday flight from DC to New York?!?
Where your plane was arriving from also needs to be taken into consideration. Flight staff doesn’t get paid when they’re delayed or cancelled due to weather & the airlines lose millions for every delayed & cancelled flight. I’d rather err on the side of caution to travel on a safe flight than the alternative.
The florida delays this year have been 90% atc / 10% weather. Jacksonville center controls almost all the traffic in and out of florida and basically shutdown every time there was a cloud in the sky.

CEO of Delta announcing they are not gonna grow this Summer... very cute, considering they cannot even fly the routes they already subscribed. Happy customer here delayed 4 days watching gate crew taking 40 minutes to print luggage labels (!?), 50 minutes to rebook a canceled flight with the bit-banging 1960 terminal interface they use (and getting it wrong), twice... and rebooked to another airline without flight coupon (how?). Three cancellations, four rebookings. An impressive shambles. You simply do not have enough trained staff to handle change events. Putting a smiley face that says you are foregoing growth fools no one when you are already facing mounting losses. And yes... not flying Delta again, just like the video says.
Give me a break. Out of the thousands of airports there has not been a sudden increase in severe weather from a just few years prior to warrant the uptick in delays and cancellations. It is entirely a staffing and logistics issue. "We had snow in Texas" yeah ok, that's what one day?. There is always rain in Florida.
Dfw is a big AMerican hub. IAH is a united hub. Dallas love field is a southwest base. All these airport have less deice equipment and deice fluid than say Newark, JFK and La Guardia. . So there is one slow down. Now you count in the fact that a airplane, not the crew or passengers but the jet itself might be making 4 flights that day. If your first flight for the airframe is IAH to MCO, then MCO to EWR, EWR to BNA, BNA to IAD. And your huston flight cancel cause the plane cant fly because there is a inch of ice on the wings and no glycol to spray on it well.... all those other flights are canceled too.
Weather also exacerbates staffing issues. If the crew and aircraft is stuck in a place of severe weather it adds trickle-down effects to the network. There are only so many reserve crew members and aircrafts. Of course all the airlines are hiring.
Great; now we need to get all of the aircraft back in the air regardless of weather and the conditions at the time. In addition, all limitations are null and void.
The flights are not "impacted" by weather, they are _affected_ by it. Unless you're talking about flights like US Airways Flight 1549 or Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, do not use the word "impact". Learn English, CNBC.
