Ultimately it wasn't just my flight that got canned! It was all flights to Chicago that got canceled, along with a number of flights to other destinations.

Gummint strategy:

1. ATC center controllers have world's most stressful job. They have to do math, keep track of dozens of moving things. If they screw up once, lots of people die.

2. They used to get paid six figures, attracting bright people.

5. ????????

6. Profit...?

Also, the beverage menu here claims that a bottle of Tanqueray gin is $85. They don't even say if that comes with tonic or even how big that bottle is...

So no, we won't be doing that.

Sounds like a nice, relaxing evening. Sometimes bad news is good news in disguise.
