August 31, 200916 yr Is it possible for RC to issue a ground stop for a arrival airport? I fly to EWR IAH and CLE and they are always having ground delays and ground stops.

It was never a less-than-an-hour thing. What criteria would you be willing to wait for release? Most users aren't interested in ground stops, but that doesn't mean it can't be an option.Doug
