Default Delta delay - atlanta

Hi,
I just got home Friday at 1:30 pm. What we supposed to be a quick one night turnaround from San Juan to Toronto, turned into an almost three day ordeal. Just got chance to update my post.

Yes, there were plenty of rumours floating around airport the time I was there. The weather did turn out to be the main culprit. But believe pilot strike rumour may have started coz a number of times flights were delayed because crew did not show up or Delta didn't have enough crew to do flight.

My flight from Atlanta to Toronto was delayed numerous time & finally landed at 1:45 a.m. I ended up staying at airport thinking why bother leaving when flight out was at 9:00 a.m. Unfortunately, ended up that flight was delayed again numerous times but did eventually get to Atlanta late. Flight from Atlanta to San Juan was again delayed, delayed & was eventually cancelled. It was by sheer luck & one very kind Delta employee that I got on an 8:40 a.m. flight to San Juan Friday a.m. But it was touch & go because they only had two cabin attendants but one more showed up. Otherwise that would have been cancelled too.

All in all, an frustrating experience but one that was out of my control so just went with the flow. Back in the sunshine & warmth so everything fine now.
