due to weather. I am listening to the pilot on ATC. Most of the weather passed but due to lighting in a 15 minunte window planes can’t leave the gates.
The door has been closed and it triggered an out time. The system doesnt know if it is moving or not, just that the flight is considered "OUT" and hence has "departed"
