ATC "cancellation" of scheduled carrier flights?
"Marc J. Zeitlin" wrote in message
...
While discussing reimbursement of hotel bills from a major airline, I was
told that my flight(s) were cancelled BY ATC.
Now, I know that ATC can delay IFR clearances/takeoffs based on weather,
traffic volume, landing slots at the destination, and probably cosmic ray
intensity as well, but I have never heard that ATC can CANCEL flights.
For you ATC folks - are they blowing smoke up my ass?
Yes.
Can ATC CANCEL a flight?
No.
Can you point me to the regulations that cover this area, so that I can do
my own research?
