"I’m exhausted, I’m frustrated and I would like to know what’s going on."
Dozens of flights operated by JetBlue and Southwest Airlines were delayed or cancelled Sunday, leaving many passengers stranded.
"Over the past several days, severe weather in the southeast and multiple air traffic control delay programs have created significant impacts on the industry," a spokesperson for JetBlue said in a written statement. "We have unfortunately had to cancel flights this weekend, and today’s cancellations will help us reset our operation and safely move our crews and aircraft back in to position."
These cancellations severely altered the plans of many JetBlue passengers. One passenger, Joe Paglialini, missed his cruise in Fort Lauderdale, FL because of the cancellations.

"I’m going to go home, try to book another cruise for next week, hopefully I can get credit for the one I lost," said Paglialini.
In all, more than 10,000 flights have been delayed or canceled this weekend.
JetBlue has also been responding to some passengers on Twitter regarding their delays.
"We are experiencing flight disruptions across our network today due to briefly pausing our service earlier this morning as we worked to resolve an intermittent technology issue, as well as ongoing weather challenges impacting multiple areas within our system," Southwest Airlines said in a written statement.
