Y'all are going over 3 hrs to push, deice and takeoff? Is this something that's regular?

Why not just go back to the gate before the time is up and start over? Not your problem the comapnies plan to get you deiced and out of there isnt working.

Don't worry they said they learned a lot from the last snowstorm and next time it will be different!!

y’know for an airline that prides themselves in operating out of the state of alaska you’d think they’d be able to handle some inclement weather in SEA. It’s always a crap show. Partly because SEA is tiny with limited space to de-ice and partly because the operation lacks any ability to plan ahead. I try to avoid SEA as much as possible.

They plan to fail once, maybe twice a snow season because it’s cheaper to fall apart than the cost they’d endure to properly prepare. More than two snow “events” though, and they’re in the red…it’s the CPA way.
