I expect the airline to cancel the flight and put me in a hotel actually.
Well I was on that plane in Y and I would not have wanted to be stuck in a DFW hotel, especially as I had an important meeting the next morning. I was really happy we left while thousands of people did not. Especially as when we pushed back it was 11:30 AM so being put into a hotel at 2:30 or even 4:30 wouldn't have made any sense.
