Damn that Global warming, it is causing too much snow!

Well, we have big Al and his movie talking all about doom and gloom with global warming. Then we have the Burlington VT school district teaching global warming to 3rd graders. Then we have every wacko that wants to make a name for themselves talking about the melting of the icebergs and so on.....

Well, this would be good news for the airlines.....
story below.


PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Airport lines were still long Monday but getting back to normal in as US Airways tried to recover from a paralyzing ice storm that stranded thousands of travelers in Northeast cities over the weekend.
About 100 people spent Sunday night at Philadelphia International Airport, down from about 1,000 after the storm hit on Friday, said airport spokeswoman Phyllis VanIstendal.

US Airways, the dominant carrier at both hard-hit airports, reported Sunday that it was trying to find seats for 100,000 passengers ( who ever stole them, please return them your causing a problem)system wide whose travel had been interrupted by the storm that hit the Northeast.

I don't know about you, but snow isn't something new in the North East nor is flying. So can someone explain to me why there appears to be big issues with the airlines this year? Seeing US Airways swallowed up America West and they had eyes on Delta, is this the end result of consolidations? Yea, JetBlue took a beating in Feb, but come on, this isn't something that cropped up last night.

The worst part is, all they give you is a bag of pretzels for all this aggravation.
