"Newark bound aircraft that were diverted on Monday are currently scheduled to arrive on or after 8:00 a.m. Tuesday."

I still don't see anything on FlightAware yet, but they must be planning to leave pretty early in the morning to make that 8:00 a.m. arrival!

That would be nice, but due to the sheer volume of snow that needs to be removed and the backlog of flights that diverted everywhere, they would be lucky to arrive at 8:00AM.  I think the key words there are "or after!"  Sucks, but what can you do?

As for putting passengers up, I know the rules have changed but I still believe that airlines are not held responsible for paying for passenger's rooms in the case of a weather event.  Even so, I know that many passengers are being assisted in finding accommodations, and that unaccompanied minors are being taken home by employees to be cared for.

(My personal kudos to all the Cleveland folks who have been working long and hard to do the best they can for all these customers...I think they have been doing a fantastic job!  )

As for speakers...well, they could probably use a few more in cases like this, but every flight comes with crew members who speak the native tongue and I am sure they are more than earning the extra money they make for this ability!

I don't know when the flights are leaving, but if I do I'll let you know.
