cabin door reopened
Waiting for de-icing on board lga-ord right now. So far been on board for an hour (nice being upgraded anyways, they just opened up the cabin door to let passengers from the next flight on. Anyone ever seen this before, letting other pax on because a flight's been delayed?

As long as they don't allow a paid-FC passenger on board and downgrade YOU (taking back your PDB), it sounds fine to me.

I've had a GA call out to the pilot to see if the door could be opened for me. Thanks, indeed.

The 5:15 flight has been cancelled, as well as another one later tonight. Makes sense they'd want to accommodate pax if possible.

Perhaps about 3-4 times in the last 16 years. It is rare but it does happen.

Still waiting, I just saw on the delta app that they also canceled the 6:15 flight. It was nice that they let the pax get on this flight

Yup, the north east, just as we are getting back up and nursing that set of cracked ribs from sandy is about to get a swift kick to the jaw from "Winter Storm Athena" (yes I kid you not, they have decided to start naming the nor'easters too).

Once on ValuJet (this was in the 90s), the GA led me down the jetway only to find that the aircraft had already started its pushback. The GA made eye-contact with the captain through the front window of the aircraft. After a pause, the captain decided to pull back up and let me on. I was just an average Joe with no status who showed up late. All eyes were on me when I entered the aircraft, and a few passengers applauded sardonically. I don't know if that would ever happen these days.

In this case, "they" is the Weather Channel: http://www.weather.com/news/weather-...torms-20121001
