You haven't flown in awhile and having only flown once is 30 years, as you say, so you may not be up to speed on airplanes, however, an airplane cannot fly if it has ice on it. The wings cannot create lift. De-icing has to take place. That isn't the airlines fault. That happens all of the time during the winter months and in colder temperatures and to ALL airlines.
