Recently, on a dead head flight out of O'hare, we are delayed being pushed back for de-ice on a bad weather day. After we sat for about 10mins, the CA informs us that the de ice trucks will arrive in 5 mins. I could tell the guy behind me is starting to get irritated and is wondering why this is taking so long. We finally push back after only about 30 mins at the gate (pretty short time for getting de-iced.) During taxi, the CA informs us again that it will be a shot wait prior to take off due to the weather and the number of departures ahead of us in line. Thats when the guy behind me turns to his wife and says " see honey, that why I always fly on SouthWest."

I guess I forgot that not only is SouthWest the greatest airline ever assembled, and it is also unaffected by adverse weather.
