I guess it is a blessing that Lonestar is in Houston this week (major hub for Continental) and not Dallas (major hub for American). That will definitely limit
the impact. If everyone had been trying to get to Dallas, well, have fun with that

AA cancellations to Houston | ||

AA has cancelled 2 of its 3 scheduled Chicago-Houston flights today. The one they are planning to operate is also an MD-80, but it must be one of the
aircraft they already fixed.
AA is trying to put affected travellers on other flights, even other airlines if necessary. So hopefully there will be no impact on teams coming to
Houston. The challenge is to try to get AA to rebook people when their customer service capabilities are overwhelmed. Yesterday more than 100,000 AA
travellers had their flights cancelled and today there is likely to be an equal number.

Man, if anyone gets caught up in this mess I really do feel for you. My daughter's team was caught up in a similar fiasco this summer heading to JOs. The
girls were supposed to leave on Thursday....next available flight within US was on Saturday. Just a tad late to get to JOs. So, we drove from NC to MN. An
adventure in itself. Hopefully no one else will have to do the same!

Good luck to all the teams trying to make it. My daughter has had a year from hell trying to get back and forth from her home to ours for holidays, etc. She
doesn't really care if she ever sees the inside of Memphis airport again and is looking for a job a bit closer.....wish her luck!

Stellar from Co was booked on AA from Denver to Houston went to print boarding passes at 4pm for next day flight and found out it was canceled. I tried to call
reg. AA line and it just went into busy mode right away so I called groups was on hold for 2 hours finally got someone and she said there was nothing for 3
days but I was looking in the system at 6 seats on 3 different flights and I needed 14 so I said just book them on 3 different flights. I need to get the team
to Houston so she said Continental has a 45 min hold but if I wanted her to she would hold if I could. Duh! I had been holding for 2 hrs already what was 45
mins. Anyway they got all 14 on the 7am flight and they are in Houston. Now I am just worried about the return flight on AA on Sunday and Group will not be
open. I was watching the news and they show Orange Co airport and another team has been canceled and they were all crying. As far as I know they did not get
out of Ca. as the Airline told them they did not have anything for 2 days. I expect this to trickle down to many other airlines. So hopefully by the time
JO's comes around it will be completed.
