NEW YORK (CNNMoney)-- Nearly 20,000 flights were canceled due to Superstorm Sandy's damage, however airline customers, for the a lot of part, do not appear to be up in arms. A lot of airlines started alerting people of air travel cancellations and their rescheduling policies well before the storm hit. That made all the difference, according to Mike Boyd, chairman of the air travel research company Boyd Group International. "What causes consumer upset is anxiety, and anxiety is caused by not knowing," Boyd said. "This was different than getting caught in a thunderstorm. Airlines knew what was coming and canceled ahead of time.". And the extensive use of the Internet and social networks has made it much easier for providers to get the most updated details out to customers.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
