Revelation, Planes still don't fly in blizzards

 COMMON SENSE PROVIDES SAFETY FOR WINTER TRAVEL

AIRLINES CAN NOT BE BLAMED FOR THE WEATHER

Much ado because airline canceled thousands of flights during Christmas inconveniencing travelers who hoped to be with family for the holidays. Planes just are not safe flying in blizzards and also freezing rain and high wind, all prevalent during the Christmas weekend. Get over it! Maybe it would be better to visit family for the fourth of July.

Personally, I have refused to fly anywhere and especially in the winter. Your chances of being stranded in some airport for some time are very high, it is just a fact of life. Accept it, you are never going to change this reality. Do you want the airlines to just go for it, when they understand the increased risks involved, if so maybe some investors should form a new airlines, called the "Kamikaze " or "Russian Roulette" Airways. There motto could be, "We fly when others are chicken"

When flights are cancelled due to weather a snow ball effect is created, now crews and pilots are not available in other parts of the country due their inability to travel and it just escalates into chaos. My only complaint about the airlines is they need to do a better service in accommodating passengers in arraigning alternative flights. Could you imagine someone without a cell phone stuck in some airport for days. A good common sense idea would be to just stay home if the weather looks like trouble.

We also see that a lot of people died stuck in their cars and in the snow.  Another simple lack of common sense. Do not go out in winter in shorts and sandals. Do not go out without the proper cloths in case of an emergency. Things your mother should have taught you in Kindergarten. 

While weather forecasting is sometimes not perfect, in today's world it is reasonably good for 5 days in advance. Years ago sailors and travelers were hit unexpectedly with violent weather, with little time to prepare or hunker down until the storm passed. It seems many today are just too self absorbed with other priorities to make good decisions for their safety. Maybe it is just the old law of natural selection still at work.
