Having invested in an aeroplane with all the fancy equipment, the pressure to fly one's family and friend and the family dog from Teterboro to Atlanta, was irresistable. Despite known icing conditions.
I was stuck in Norfolk a while ago at Thankgiving and watched a similar family leave for Long Island, attempt 3 diversions, and return, with the family grumpy and upset that Daddy's super toy couldn't perform as promised. They were lucky.
