Pat--you are correct in much of what you said. But all airlines do not suck. They are overwhelmed with a situation they did not create. You think they are dealing with just St. Maarten? This is happening all over the world. I'm glad I am not in charge of running an airline right now because there is no way to satisfy most folks. I understand the frustration but to blame airlines for this is unfair. They are probably doing the best they can while worrying about how they are going to protect and pay their employees with so few planes being allowed to fly and almost no paying passengers.
This is almost exactly what I wanted to say. Try to maintain some perspective here. Airlines are dealing with a global emergency, it's gonna require more than usual patience.
