Multiple reports of ash on aircraft and the ramp today, so cancellations are a good plan. Lots of diversions from us carriers earlier. Better than having to do a dual engine change.
The prevailing winds usually keep popo's ash cloud south of MEX but the past few weeks the winds have been southerly and VA has been reported on the field multiple times.
I'd rather be DL & proactively cancel flights, then be UA & their regional carriers who have a tendency to flame out engines by flying into VA on a regular basis. Proactivity is rewarded vs. reactivity. Then again, we can all follow the classic airline adage: "F-up, move up!"
