January 14, 2016: Don’t expect airport departure delays to improve this year — US carriers have found a way around the new government rule that fines airlines $27.50 per passenger for airport runway delays of more than 3 hours — if extensive delays are anticipated, airlines are just canceling flights. Kinda of sad when the FAA tries to enhance passenger service and the airlines find a way to not only not comply but make it even harder for travelers — SHAMEFUL don’t your think?
