What kind of shit business do you do where you can't do a Zoom meeting?

Seriously. Corporate culture is such wasteful crap. Flying a bunch of people for meetings that can be done remote. Unless its some big conference or something any discussion meeting can be done online.

I was using short hand with meeting. Obviously the intention of my post is about the reliability of a so called draw to Worcester and using the airport here. The reasoning for why people travel is completely irrelevant. In fact most people here take it to JFK to travel internationally. If you live in the area it’s phenomenal.

If you must know, I work remotely and I had the opportunity to attend a company event in NYC to finally meet some of my coworkers in person. The event was a huge conference followed by a ball. Not the type of thing one Zooms into.

Figured this flight is perfect. Why waste money (you mentioned waste too) on a hotel for something that was not critical?

Yes, weather happens, but the percent cancellation of flights out of ORH is alarmingly high. And no one at JetBlue offered any alternative options which is also disappointing.
