So you don't hold BDL responsible at all for keeping a plane out there for 7 hours? I don't understand that. There was no way of knowing in advance that this October storm would hammer New England as it did. So why didn't BDL get buses to that plane SOONER if they refused to make gates available? Why did it take 7 hours for that to happen?
