Numerous airline cancellations have caused a national outcry and a negative perception of the airline.

Gottlieb described the "airport looks like the apocalypse" with hundreds of confused passengers trying to find out what is going on while hundreds of flights were delayed and/or cancelled. She reportedly stated she felt "trauma" as a result of witnessing the chaotic scene first-hand and recommends "do not fly THIS airline ESPECIALLY at this time."
