I just want to say thanks to the Delta Pilots on yesterday's Flight DL1954 DAB to ATL for making myself as well as 3/4 of the rest of the passengers miss their connections.
The flight was set to depart at 0600, but taxied out at 0630. We taxied to the runway, stopped short of taxing onto it when a passenger told a FA that they saw frost on the wing, the Captain came out putting on his hat and jacket with a flashlight to look outside through the window, after a couple more looks we taxied back and he made the decision to wait till the sun came out to heat the wings and melt the frost.
My question is don't you guys do walk arounds anymore? That should have been found before you taxi out of the ramp. Plus when we got back to the ramp, these idiots never even walked out to inspect for themselves, they just waited till the sun came out.
Just for future reference, HOT WATER works great when by 0630 the temp was well abouve freezing.
Even if the flight left by 0700, everyone would have made their connections, heck the Delta flight that was due to fly after us, took off first
I was going to SMF, since I missed that I had to fly to SFO and drive, thanks.
What a bunch of idiots, morons, etc................
