No surprise there. When AAL was using them I was delayed/cancelled on almost every week for 3 months straight. In fact once, at DFW, we were on the runway ready to leave when we left an taxied back to the terminal. Turned out there was fog at MHK and the copilot was rated for it. AA tried to say it was “weather” related but that was a crock.
Wasn’t. They really need an edit function here.
I had that happen on a Compass jet to DTW some years ago. First pilot left the plane, new pilot came on and apologized for the delay. The first pilot wasn't rated for fog. Looked at the guy next to me and he said, was that supposed to make us more comfortable?
Landing at DTW in some serious fog. Could not see the runway lights until we touched down.

I remember being in a Jumpseat on a CAT III Approach and not seeing the runway until we were exiting the runway... Weird Feeling to say the least...
Worse FA's on the planet - ridiculing passengers, angry and offensive more often then not out of IAH.
I've never been treated worse then onboard Express Jet aircraft, hopefully the friends that I started ground school with are long gone ...

Was same for dispatchers.. I left the airlines 20 yrs ago, just too unstable and senority restarts really suck.. I feel bad for these employees.. time for career change.. corporate aviation worked for me..
