A couple of years ago my brother was on a LH flight from FRA-JFK on a Friday with a similar story of being delayed a few hours away from the gate.
He eventually requested to be off-loaded due to Shabbat, the crew where not too happy as they were finally being allowed to take-off. The captain came out to ask him why he so badly want to be off-loaded, he explained to him about shabbat, the pilot fully understood and turned back to the gate and got him off-loaded, while showing full understanding. Of course LH re-booked him free of charge on a Sunday flight.
If LH could do this for 1 single passenger, why couldn't ELAL do this for 180 passengers?
Never mind the lies by the captain and untrue blaming by ELAL
