It seems like you could blame almost any delay on that (airplane was late inbound due to weather so we RRd you to a different flight, timed out waiting for a wheels up time, etc.) I wish it was more clearly defined, or maybe I don't? I am waiting for a week to pass on my last trip but I'm thinking they are going to deny due to the weather exception. At least we have 23 L. 4...
I’ll just say I disagree that extended deicing delays causing the company to reroute you qualifies as weather on your routing. But I’m sure you wouldn’t be surprised at the company’s position.
