I must be pretty lucky. I travel once or twice a year and don't recall any problems with delays or cancellation. The one thing that is a bit annoying is that with the airline routes now I get flown quite a bit off the direct route. I just got back from a trip from Albany, NY to Portland, OR. The trip out went from Albany to Newark to Houston to Portland. The return trip was Portland to Houston to Cleveland to Albany. With an hour or two wait at each stop, that's 12 hours or so traveling. It's really not that bad though. It beats driving nonstop 4 days to cross country.
