Actually he's smart pushing back. You still pay for the fuel that we de-fuel and that fuel can't be used again. Not so dumb to me!
You forget to mention increased pollution, wear and tear on the engines, ramp/taxiiway congestion, passengers getting nervous, and the fact that at idle or a bit above the CRJ would burn 500/hr per side. So if he had to defuel 500lbs say, that would have taken 30 min anyway.
