And to echo others, blowing the slides is a very bad idea unless there was greater danger inside the plane. You will injure people when you send them down the slides. Especially considering that one of the medical concerns was a paraplegic.
B6 certainly should've done a better job than 7 hours, and may well get fined, but as for the crew, sometimes you're just stuck

None of these OTHER guys would have blown the slides Either So let's put that to REST! there's no way in HECK JBLU couldn't have gotten Help if they needed it! Their managment just had to Reach out and ASK! With UAL and DAL right there on the Field? You have GOT to be kidding that they couldn't GET Help. DAL helps UAL and takes care of their Light maintenence there and they are DAMN GOOD! And theis crap of ONLY ONE airbus Towbar on the FIELD?? PLEASSSE! That's not even a GOOD Lie!
JBLU should BE Twisting in the wind for This! This makes NO sense At ALL!
And exactly WHEN was the Glide slope out in EWR?? CAL and UAL made Landings in the snow. Was it the airplane the airport or the PILOT that Couldn't make the CAT3 Approach?? Story sounds MURKY at Best!!
