Yup. I was delayed for two hours in Dublin a few hours ago due to storm activity. While my wife was somewhat annoyed, I pointed out to her that the conditions were dangerous for the people on the ground. She relaxed. A couple of G&Ts were had while we waited.
As passengers we're all keen to get there on time; we know full well that for selfish reasons the airlines, the crew, the ground staff all want the same thing.
Nobody should be put at risk in the whole enterprise in order to get my ass to a meeting in time.
