It appears the plane had left the gate, was taxiing toward it's assigned runway, and it was at that point that the plane turned around and returned to the gate. You'd think if it was simple bigotry on the part of the pilot that he would have done this before the door was closed. Why did this happen when it did and when both pilots would have been very busy with flight ops?

What is 'way too many'? Can you provide some statistics on this?
