When the U.S. Department of Transportation implemented new rules for tarmac delays, airlines reacted by increasing the likelihood and probability of cancelling flights than risking huge penalties for delays over 3 hours.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) put the probabilities of flight cancellations at 24% higher due to the new rules in effect that were intended to protect travelers from long delays.
Given the state of airspace restrictions, congestion, flight controls, bad weather and other factors, it has become increasingly likely that flights may sit in delay modes then cancelled altogether.
With too few seats available, the margin for error is too small to accommodate passengers on other flights as airlines continue to pare down available seats.
