"Of the 595 flights American scrubbed today, eight were at Los Angeles International Airport, where the carrier has 92 daily departures. A small number of flights were also canceled at airports in Burbank, Ontario and San Diego," reported the LA Times just after 10:00 a.m.

Also, today came the news that the fourth carrier this month, Frontier Airlines, filed for bankruptcy protection but they say they will continue flying. The other three airlines, Skybus, ATA and the parent of Aloha Airlines discontinued service after filing Chapter 11.
