Airlines are scrambling today to assemble crews and airplanes in the right places after an unholy mess yesterday caused by rain and wind and, of course, a system chronically stretched so tight that there is no slack for disruptions.
Here's how it toted up at 3 key airports yesterday, according to FlightStats.com:
Atlanta: Overall ontime arrival rate: 22 percent. Number of cancellations: 287. Number of arriving flights delayed: 835. Number of those arrival delays that exceeded 45 minutes: 609.
JFK: Overall ontime arrival rate: 20 percent. Number of cancellations: 200. Number of arriving flights delayed: 376. Number of those arrival delays that exceeded 45 minutes: 286.
Newark: Overall ontime arrival rate: 22 percent. Number of cancellations: 209. Number of arriving flights delayed: 327. Number of arrival delays that exceeded 45 minutes: 263.
