yes, we heard you say that in 7 other threads, which does not counter my point.

The point was that an airline is damned either way in this scenario: push through and be told by armchair first officers they should have diverted sooner, or divert and be scolded as a signal of Delta's bad operations. You are simply confirming that.

Confirmation bias is real- both in terms of what someone thinks about a specific airline weather-related incident, and the random posts they find in forums on the internet.
