That kind of data with a minute-by-minute accounting would be helpful to go to the airline with and say, look - it was your issue, not weather.

Good luck.
The beauty part there is that I have every flight alert e-mail that UA sent me during the course of the afternoon, telling me that the flight would be leaving at 2:40...3:10...3:40...4:45...6:05...and so on. There are no less than 16 of them--8 of which were sent between 4:02 and 4:10 PM, all giving completely contradictory departure times.
