Would it make you feel better if that scenario would never happen? Cause it would never happen. Any rational thinking being would conclude that do take a plane whose #4 to take off, as in taking off in the very near future not #4 but we're on ground stop for the next 5 hours, and pulling it from the lineup and back to the terminal would "disrupt airport operations" which is one of the loopholes.
