What is going on at NYC airports? Anyone make it out on time? Delay after delay with no apparent weather issues, but Delta assures me there’s lightning in the area...

Where were u flying from D1

All of the landing patterns for NYC airports are in central/eastern PA for JFK/LGA and S. Jersey for for EWR. If you want to know why your NYC flight is fucked, check the weather in Harrisburg or Atlantic City first

Massive ground stop at lga. Everything was a mess due to yesterdays cancellations, plus a very heavy travel day today, coupled with traffic that was so bad that ppl couldnt physically get to the airport. Sitting at ORD now. Ive had delays of 8 hrs, 5 hrs and now 3 hrs

It’s hard to feel lucky when I’m still on this plane lol

Also, why would lightning cause a delay? I’ve flown through countless storms. And even if lighting hit the plane, there’s nothing to ground it (not saying it’s totally great, but kind of bizarre that this would be the explanation).

lightning outside makes it unsafe for the ground workers, people with the glow sticks, and baggage handlers to be on the tarmac. the plane might be immune to lightning, but last I checked human beings still weren't.

(... and here comes the FB snark...)

"lightning" is a great excuse to not give points

Trying to get to LGA from CLT and its not looking good friends.. the 6pm was cancelled and the 8pm has turned into a 9pm.....

Sitting in my apartment 15 min north or EWR. Massive tstorms rolling in. Be my guest if you want to be landing your plane in this. Do you think ATC is purposely delaying and making airlines cancel flights?

massive storms rolling in doesn’t explain why i couldn’t fly out at 6 pm when my plane has been here since yesterday (the route was also canceled yesterday)

Struck by lightning is grounds for closer inspection (and delay), at which point your plane may or may not be deemed worthy to fly.

We were delayed about an hour out of JFK this afternoon for weather at Harrisburg. Homeward bound now.

My flights been cancelled ya’ll.. 😭

With social security potentially running out, why couldn’t it be an option for the govt to put $5k for every baby that is born in a year into an account Invested in a govt share class S&P 500 fund. Historical average is 10%+, which would provide roughly $2.7 million for a baby born today. Eventually, this would eliminate the need for soc sec tax, and would only cost $18 Billion a year instead of several trillion a year being deposited into the trust.
