"Good day, ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, We have been cleared sixth for departure on runway one eight right. Let's have a vote now..."

Oh, yeah, democracy in action.
But, they did vote to skeedaddle, and I can dig it. Weather the 10th made DFW a zoo, it may be the late people were late arrivals or missed another flight and were resettled on this one, I can see how catering was messed up as well as dispatching. Not nice, but consistent with this summer at DFW.
