Take care
Few years ago I had a ground engineer take a hit through the headset mic during pushback at BNE. Burnt his lips, he was off work for two weeks.
The storm was + 5nm away. Safety before schedule can be a huge pain but you cant have it both ways, not in a enlightened country/airline that strives to match the worlds best practise. Just look at the carbon tax. It all costs one way or the other. Delays delays delays. I do agree that we should be able to get things moving again a lot quicker somehow.
