Well, the fourth snow of the month finally caught up to me. Here's a shot of the drive to work from New Hampshire to Boston:
We were to leave again in the afternoon for one leg to Miami and then another leg to Barbados. The arriving airplane landed about 15 minutes late and then an MD-80 had pushed from the gate and was being de-iced and anti-iced. This process can take a bit of time and so our airplane didn't make it to the gate for another hour.
Jeblue had cancelled a flight to Cancun, so 50 passengers came over to AA after buying last minute tickets. Apparently Jetblue was not required to book them on AA it seems since it was a weather related problem. I chatted with some of the passengers and told them that they had a pretty good chance that the Cancun leg would be held for them since there were so many on our flight.
Even though we were over 2 hours late getting to Miami, they somehow held their connecting flight for the Cancun passengers. Vacation saved!
We did the two part spray as well (type II and type IV), which is a big part of the delay. Here you can see the lovely view we get after the spraying process. Makes it tough to get any pictures.
I'll be flying Christmas eve, but I doubt I'll post anything for a while after that. Have a great Christmas everyone!

I had a couple of friends with flights being cancelled due to weather. We´ll see if they have problems back in January...

It's that Bud Light Advert (the "Discount Airlione Pilot Guy" one) and the person has put it with a montage of pictures, and your one of them.
Oh, man. Well, you know you've made it when someone looks up Airline Pilot in google to steal a picture for their video. Thanks a lot Neil for sharing that. What a laugh!
Merry Christmas kent, happy flying :)
