Working for an airline, this hurricane has cause more than 1,200 cancelled flights. (on JetBlue only) Since Friday I've worked nearly 50 hours. I have 15hrs to work today and each day up until Thursday. Sandy has displaced so many people, all airlines have been forced to cancel flights for the next 3 days until Wensday around the Northeast coast (from Washington DC up to Boston Logan). This sucks, I'm not getting affected physically. But it's just awfully sad to see how this storm has caused alot of people to get stranded. I'm amazed to see how people are reacting, customers are being super patient and understanding it blows me away I haven't gotten someone that has yelled at me yet lol. But still, getting stuck somewhere for 4+ days is definately not an ideal place to be and from the sounds of it and the weather forecasts. It's gonna be bad, especially on Monday afternoon. I love to help people out, but it breaks my heart when I have to tell people "I won't be able to get you out until Friday/Saturday" when they were supposed to come back home on Monday. But we have to do what we have to do to get people home safely!
ugh. I'm too emotionally involved with my job, I hate that sometimes.
My fingers are crossed and my prayers are in. Hopefully mother nature decides for Sandy to not be as bad as be anticipate it to be!
