Milwaukee travelers react to nationwide ground stop

Our big story this morning, after the longest nationwide ground stop since 9-11, planes are back in the air this morning. But travelers across the country, they are still feeling the ripple effects of these delays. Our Andrew Muzo is live once again at Mitchell Airport with the latest as travelers look to get their trips back on track. Andrew, you found a traveler this morning to speak with. Yes, I did. And I was actually able to not only speak with a handful of travelers so far, but also some airport staff here, too. Now, behind me here, you can kind of see things are sort of flowing as of now. Not a whole lot of people at this time, but they do. So that just hours ago, it was a very different story. A lot of people came here looking to see, OK, maybe my flight got redirected or maybe it got, you know, maybe it's still on time for today. And a lot of people still waking up and being like, OK, actually, it's canceled. So people are now... We're now deciding, do I want to stay here? If it's delayed hours and hours on end, do I want to go home? So some people have been very frustrated. That's what we're hearing from a lot of the airport staff here. But as you mentioned, we were able to find someone to speak with today. Here is Mr. Oscar. And I know that you guys travel some ways. I believe it was Juneau, right? Yes. Okay. And tell me, where are you planning to go and what time is your flight today? Oh, our flight was at... It's 6 a.m., but they read the schedule for 3 p.m. right now to Kansas. Oh, my gosh. So that is a very big difference. So are you guys just choosing to stay out here, or are you guys planning to leave, come back, or just literally stay here until 3? We are planning to stay here until 3, so that's a big time. Yeah, and when you found out that your flight was going to be switched like that, what was going on in your mind? I don't know. Just wait. Wow, you're staying very positive. You guys are cool. I mean, you guys got the whole set up here watching stuff. So you guys aren't very, you guys aren't panicking. A lot of people have been worried. They've been nervous. They've been upset. But you guys are choosing to stay positive. Why? Yeah, because our event that we are going is tomorrow. So we're peacefully. Okay, so you are well prepared. Yes. Wow, that's great. That's great to hear, Oscar. I know that they're going to be waiting here for some time now, but I mean, hey, Brie, I think that's a really good thing, of course. I haven't heard too many people say that their event is actually tomorrow, so they have plenty of time. Some people have events today, actually, and they're going to have to miss them. We just heard that someone, they're supposed to be part of a wedding, so now they're no longer going to be part of that wedding. So there's a variety of things that this is definitely affecting. It's a domino effect here. I know, Andrea, definitely a ripple effect there. Have you had a chance to look? I was looking online. What is the board saying about cancellations or delays this morning? I know a number of arriving flights have already been canceled so far. Yeah. Yeah, from what we've seen now, it's still... A mixed bag from what we're seeing. So there's still some that say on time, delayed, canceled. I was trying to take a look at some of the ones that are arriving here to Milwaukee. A lot of the Chicago ones are on time as far as people that are coming from Chicago here. I'm sure that over there at O'Hare International Airport, even at Midway, it's sort of a different story. Obviously, it's a bigger airport, more people. But those are on time as far as arriving here to Milwaukee. But those departures still, we're seeing delays, cancellations. And maybe a handful that are still on time.
