72. Not For Me!
Quick NO story. On a supplier audit, two summers ago. There's a hurricane in the gulf. So, raining like mad along the gulf coast. Planes can't get in. Planes can't get out. Streets are flooded, so can't get taxis in and out of the airport.

Our flight was delayed 13 and a half hours! They kept the bars and restaurants open the whole night so that folks would have food, drink and something to do since we were basically trapped there.

For that reason alone, i rate them higher than awful. Customer service rules for me.
