ATL to JFK - 5 hours Delta flight delay due to tornado warning in Newark. Can you ask for points? What do you write in your email? Have never done this before.

"As a frequent traveler, I was shocked and disappointed to find that you were unwilling to risk the lives of myself and others by launching a metal tube through the air when said air may or may not be swirling in a deadly vortex. Based on my many hours sitting outside the cockpit and several viewings of Sharknado, I am convinced the actual meteorologist report was completely unfounded and needlessly cautious. I presented many of your employees with this information on several occasions during my five hour wait, during which time I was able to rewatch Sharknado twice to confirm- clearly my assurances fell on deaf ears. Your complete disregard for both my opinion and your duty as an airline, namely to put planes in the air, has been nothing short of unacceptable. Adding insult to injury, I was in terminal b which everyone knows has the worst food and required a 20 minute commute to One Flew South just to get decent food to sustain me through the agonizing delay. Knowing your dedication to your most loyal members, I am confident you will take the necessary steps to make this right, including, at a minimum, reimbursement for all expenses occurred during the delay and lifetime elite status."

You're welcome. Let us know the outcome.

I don't think you can ask for anything when it's weather related. Sorry but that's life

Let's be honest. I would be happy knowing I found out on the ground than flying towards a fucking tornado.
