Noticed on the departure board in both LAX and CLE that the majority of flights to Chicago and Boston had been cancelled due to the upcoming/ongoing weather. All flights to YYZ were running.
Again I ask the GTAA critics who compare YYZ to other airports in Canada....why won't you criticise the US airports for not even attempting to run a full operation in bad winter weather? Or could it be it is the more sensible thing to do?
BTW Landed in light snowfall in Toronto and the ploughs were out and about, deicing was in full swing and the airport was moving as per normal. Wow....wouldn't you know it!
Well OK, if you want me too...ORD and KBOS suck. A bunch of over paid lazy ATC if you ask me. Where is Reagan if you ask me. Fire them all!
On a serious note, it`s time to put this thread to rest.
"Yankee go home", did you ever hear that one before?
Funnily enough no...probably because I am British.
Where is Reagan if you ask me. Fire them all!
You actually wouldn't want that to happen right now because they will come up and work in Canada instead. ORD working YYZ approach?? The accents would get doubly weird.
I am done on this thread aswell.....there is no middle ground to be found. I await the summer thunderstorm season with interest and will watch to see if any of the critics on this thread rear their heads again during the groundstops and delays caused by that type of weather. I can see the headlines "GTAA closes airport because workers unwilling to work in the rain!"

I mean... It's America...
That would be further to the South. How about Edmonton, Yellowknife, Prince George, White Horse, or............................. Analogies are great, if you don't get
things mixed up..lol.

Are you also going to educate us on how summer storms around the grand ol' GTA is worse than in other parts of Canada, too? I'll be watching attentively for an update.

Worse? Probably not, but with WAY MORE TRAFFIC trying to navigate around it and squeezing through openings in the lines of weather than all airports in Canada. You obviously haven't got the jist of anything folks have said in this thread. It's not the weather it's the VOLUME of aircraft using the airport and airspace during said weather that causes the issues.
...and you OBVIOUSLY have no sense of humour, or perhaps your CAPS KEY gets arbitrarily stuck from time to time. VOLUME is relative, also. As one famous philosopher *probably* once quoted: "Complexity does VOLUME not necessarily make." Think before you type.
