Bad Adventures, your post demonstrates how little you know of the process' a mature, experienced airline goes through in circumstances like this. This is futher reinforced by those petulant ideas of what a flight crew might or might not be doing or should (in your mind) be doing. You have obviously not heard of 'Flight & Duty Time Limitations' .
The since removed thread discussing a recent weather related delay in New York degenerated into a child like waffle fest, it seems the same fate awaits this thread as well.
Those of you that are a part of a professional, mature airline won't need any further explanation, as for the rest, you wouldn't understand anyway.
Its not school holidays again is it ?
tipsy
