I live 20mins from Newark airport and I'm flying out on Thursday....we got 25inches of snow from the blizzard with strong wind gusts
There was nothing continental could do about flights as the storm dumped all that snow and closed the airport
They now have to find flights for those who couldn't make it on yesterdays flights with those who are scheduled and ticketed for today's and tomorrows flights......so they won't have 200+ extra seats on a single plane and it's not so easy just to say bring in another plane
Other people have important obligations to meet too
Continental didn't strand them, the blizzard did....the runways taxiways and gates all had to be cleared
