The crew is not to blame, it sucks for them too (probably more than YOU because they didn’t start their day with your flight, they’ve been flying for several legs in most instances). It’s a problem with the airline


Exactly...the crew was NOT a happy group

Next time fly Jet Blue direct BOS-SXM. Worth the drive. We gave up on USA and AA many years ago after losing vacation time or not making it home and missing work. Now if it's a very early flight we stay overnite at a stay 'n park hotel, shuttle to airport. Flight hasn't yet ever been delayed but if it ever is at least it's direct and you'll have no connection worries and eventually will get to SXM. If we have a later flight we drive to Boston use Park n Fly in Chelsea and they shuttle you to airport.


That has been our normal flight for years and definitely is our preference....but it was not operating yet when we booked our flights and we were not sure it would return in time to book. I thought the AA flight from PVD (20 min ride) would be a way to get rid of some of our 250k AA miles left over from the USAir takeover..not worth it at all...but it was a learning experience....
