The AS "Penalty Box" (Tarmac Holds) Thread
Purpose: post here when you've pushed back and are waiting for a slot to take off, or a landing slot.
Just pushed back from PDX on AS751 for SEA. We taxied for a brief bit, and am now holding for "about 10 minutes" to take off.
Haven't had this occur too often, but it is becoming more of a norm.
