Guys.....the new member, yinman2, is commenting on a post that is over 2 1/2 years old. The OP'er hasn't even logged on to this site since they posted their one and only post. No use going crazy on this one.

LOL... I didn't notice that at all... but just to make the point...

Phx, going through de-icing is a normal part of winter operations.. to describe that as a "weather" delay is ridiculous. It is like saying taking on extra fuel to allow for a wider diversion margin in winter, is a "weather" delay caused by extra refueling. Ridiculous.

You make it sound like de-icing is an every day thing. It is not. Only when the combination of temperature and humidity (dew point) is likely to cause ice do they de-ice. It most certainly is a weather related issue. Otherwise every flight from late November through early March would have to be de-iced.
