I was dispatched from PHL-MCI via GreenBay once because of a line of weather. We also had an alternate... most fuel I had ever seen on the airplane. Over 14,000lbs! We had to leave about 25 peeps at the gate.

I am surprised no comments on this. One windshear escape was not enough for you? Did the weather change significantly so as to give it another shot? If not why the hell give it another try, brushing up for recurrent?

Yes at about 1300NM it was long but IAH-BOI and SAT-SMF although discontinued were longer at around 1450NM.

They still fly CLE-ABQ 1450M

Yes I am a pt 121 pilot(15 years at NWA) and I assure you this is not quite common in any cockpit I am in. If I have to do a windshear escape manuever and there is no change in the weather or other aircraft reporting no windshear I am going into holding or my alternate.
