You got that right. Strictly wishful thinking. Age 60 isn't coming back. Get used to it.

Guess what, the old guy wins because he decides not to depart under those conditions, dummy.

And if he had taxied for 1:30 and also returned to deice he would have pushed up against the DOT 180 rule. Back to the gate and they would time out.
