American Airlines cancelled hundreds of flights during the weekend, citing bad weather and staffing shortages. Two days of severe winds in Dallas-Fort Worth, its largest hub, sharply reduced its arrival capacity, the company said. Flights were also affected at its Charlotte, N.C. hub. “With additional weather throughout the system, our staffing begins to run tight as crew members end up out of their regular flight sequences,” American said in the statement to CNN. As of 4:00 p.m. EDT, FlightAware, an aviation tracking program, showed 460 flights, or 17% of the airline’s operations, were cancelled. Another nearly 300 flights, or 11% of its operations, were delayed. American also preemptively cancelled 284 flights on Sunday.

Maybe there’s a flu bug going around?

They are probably afraid of massive Halloween brawls on their airplanes.

Yeah no kidding. Do they have a mandate?
Guess I’ll be looking for a new job. One with no mandate.
Sigh 😔😔😔

I remember the wind shear crash at DFW in 1985.

Sounds like recently when they didn’t want to tell us about how the pilots and others with SW were shutting down the flights not the weather.

My neighbor is senior AA pilot. He took time off for Halloween, and he’s having a party. A lot of people want to be off for Halloween, also known as All Hallows Eve. It’s become a very popular holiday.

The wind is pretty particular. It’s just impacting American. Fancy that?
