No more exhausting than the "rhetoric" of high temps are global warming, low temps are global warming. Hurricanes are global warming. Blizzards are global warming. Everything it global warming, caused by carbon, and the solution is for the US to reduce carbon at any cost so the "emerging markets/developing world" can burn even more carbon because they are entitled to while at the same time slashing and burning irreplaceable rainforrests and driving species to the brink of extinction because they actually think you can make magic potions out of horns.

My wife's Odyssey is our weapon of choice every weekend to the local ski area. With Bridgestone Blizzaks it climbs through packed snow and ice like it's summer. I don't think it's the car, it's the tires. I love my Cummins diesel, but the van gets it done every time. Just sayin...

Look on your rotation. It has a pay report time and a actual report time. If you show up in the lobby for P/U at a specified time I think that would be the actual report time.
If you are delayed three hours it would seem to me that your duty period clock would be ticking the whole time.

You always have the fatigue card to play, but be careful declaring yourself on duty for FAR purposes. It may not be the same as PWA. Use the contract definitions for contractual rules, FAA definitions for 117 limits.

If 117 is the same as 121, FAA doesn't consider you "on duty" until you are at the airport and at the designated time. If Delta catches you before you leave the hotel, you're not on duty. If you show up at the airport early of your own doing (commuter, didn't stay at the hotel, etc.) same thing.

I was curious to see if our DXB and JNB flights got out last night. They both departed, with only about 130 pax, but both pushed very late, and then they both taxied for about 1.5-2hrs before getting airborne. There couldn't have been that much traffic going out at 10-11pm, was there a lineup for the deice pad?
The DXB didn't get off the ground until 02:30! Yikes!

How goes it .....
...in regards to the operation out there in ATL?
Media is showing iPhone video from stuck reporters on freeways amid abandoned cars and trucks.
Can't imagine crews are getting to or from downtown on layovers or in from their homes.
Snow and ice + 117 + reduced de-ice rate + likely lack of crews = ? Green-a-geddon?
Sunny, 77 in PHX today, however, we are going to pay for it come June.
