But instead, you just screwed everyone’s travel plans and just continue to do that as we try to take action getting ourselves to ATL. The apology email with NO compensation was ridiculous. 4/4.

Another 30 min to resolve that issue. On top of that, the single meal voucher you provided didn’t work! So frustrated right now because of the utter lack of communication and lack of support you provided to us. It would have taken 2 hours to send us a new plane to ROA. 3/4.

we were assured nothing would happen to our connecting flight. Well somehow our connecting flight was cancelled. We got rebooked but lost our preferred seats. Then we were told our return flight was in jeopardy of cancellation. 2/4.
