Lots of rescheduled/canceled flights, some possibly weather related, along with crew shortages. One of the aircraft was blown off the taxi way by a sudden gust of wind and became stuck in the soft ground according to Wichita KS news reports.

I'd like to congratulate the Allegiant pilot who slid off the taxiway in Wichita last night for his outstanding airmanship.
I'm not saying that departing the taxiway was unavoidable. But he certainly showed his flying skills during his previous leg by droning at 170 knots for 20 miles into a 50 knot headwind in moderate icing. I have no idea why he was going so damn slow--we closed a 25 mile gap down to 5 by landing. We flew as fast as we safely could (250 knots until 2 miles from marker) and were fully configured and on speed by 1500' (and beneath the cloud deck). We still looked like a Christmas ornament after landing with a heavy coating of icing wherever we didn't have anit-ice to keep the plane clean. I can only imagine what his plane looked like.
I was angry that approach had to put us on such a long final because he was going so slow that far out into a 50 knot headwind. I kept my mouth shut at the time--but had a wry smile when I heard that the winds pushed the same crew off the taxiway later that night.
I expect a little negative karma--but wanted to high light the CA who did such a wonderful job last night.

I'm assuming that you were operating SWA 851.

Yep, like I said. Negative karma.
That said, I call a spade a spade--regardless of the color of the paint on the airplane. I also won't expect any kid leather gloves if I screw up royally. It's a harsh profession because the consequences are even harsher.

I guess you don't get paid by the minute. You fly your jet, he'll fly his jet, I'll fly my jet.

I think that "congratulating" anyone who just had an incident opens you up for negative karma.
