It's bad sitting at the gate.

It's worse when you consider we're on a CRJ-200 that's sold out.

This is the pits.

Captain is telling us right now that they've only successfully deiced 14 aircraft since 4pm EST.

Captain told us that a plane that closed the door at 4:30pm EST just took off 15 minutes ago (8:30pm EST). Total of 4 hour delay.

Sigh.
