As for SFO, that is my office, and has been since 1989! I work as groundstaff for a major airline, and worse than the wind is the fog or rain! Stupid idiots built the runways too close together, and they can't be expanded without destroying the ecosystem in San Francisco Bay. So every time there's limited visibility (and it's NEVER foggy in San Francisco!
)
Air Traffic Control closes a runway and the inbound planes all bottleneck. You'd think in the 21st century humans could solve a structural problem like this, but as usual, money and politics interfere and turn things stupid.
My advice to all: book your flights out of Oakland or San Jose in Winter/Summer. (albeit, it's been 70 degrees here for the past 3 weeks, so no delays! But that's not normal at all.)
