IAD A Total Mess (And a question)
Im on 975 and have been listening to metering at the gate for 2 hours and my best guess is at least another hour til takeoff. No one is going anywhere and by the looks of the cell, you'd be crazy to want to.
My question is do I as a 1P on a PAID F ticket get a free hotel in SFO for a weather misconnect?

Goin to ONT and have been protected in the morning. Our departure (J149) has opened but IAD still seems closed plus there are numerous a/c that have been released from metering and are waiting on the taxiway. We still have not been released from metering although we are #1, but have been for close to an hour.

Fat chance. Now we have doors 2L and 2R open recatering. Maybe out of here by 10.
