I guess Im just used to hearing on TV constantly about flights being canceled. Heard about flights this week being canceled from LA to Boston due to bad weather..don’t know who decides to cancel flights, the airline itself? I heard tonight that there were other planes in the area at the time and they are all fine, its just bad luck..10 planes fly through the same area, no problem..one comes along and ends up crashing into the ocean
Most storm related flight cancellation problems have to do with weather at airports, not weather in between.
Yes, we do hear about cancelled flights due to weather here often. I think it’s just one of those freaks of nature that brought this plane down and not any others in the area.
