Pat--Hopefully Delta will pay for their hotel at Beachside, although normally I think they only pay for someplace the airline picks. We will hear the whole story eventually, but I surely hope that is the last delay for them. According to the Delta website, it was never scheduled to leave SXM until 11 AM anyway. Not sure why they were told to be there at 7:30. That is an awfully long time to be at that airport..
