I’m sitting here at Terminal D at LaGuardia, thankful for once that I’m flying on a smaller, Regional Jet. The airport roadways are stacked with news vans from every imaginable local news channel and network. ABC, NBC, CNBC, Univision, News 12, etc… with their satellite dishes extended, ready to broadcast. 

Apparently they’re here to cover the expected airport chaos associated with the inspection of all American Airlines MD-80 planes. Well, not so much the inspections, but the flight cancelations and the delays that will strand or simply inconvenience 100’s to 1,000’s of passengers here today.
