Quote: I just can't believe neither the FO or captain got off the airplane to talk to someone face to face??? Were they're making OT? Airstairs or not; a crew member could've gotten off the airplane! How about calling the airport manager?

On another note, why was it Mesaba's responsibility to handle CoEx? Is there an agreement between the two parties for diversions like this?
I would assume that maybe the serverly foul weather that was preventing them from departing was also preventing the crew from hopping out of the plane to go try and find any ramp or office people...

Running around on a ramp in the middle of a severe thunderstorm will probably get ya struck by lightning.

Was the weather foul the whole time they were stuck there?
