`Spring Break Storm` Strands 100,000
Forbes says that U.S. Airways alone is still struggling Sunday to find seats for over 100,000 passengers still delayed by the "Spring Break Storm" that cancelled over 3,600 flights Friday and Saturday. The staggering numbers resulted from an unusual combination of the late-season snowstorm, heavy travel due to Spring Break, and overzealous cancellations due to the recent JetBlue incident.
