Showing a 52 minute taxi at YEG... that happened all the time where their central deice gets bogged down.

At YEG a lot of times the US guys like Delta and United would take the absolute bare minimum of fuel not realizing they have to wait 30 min for a big Transat Airbus to deice, then they'd have to go back to the gate for more fuel. Later in the winter it seems the dispatchers finally figure it out and YEG outbounds take a bunch more taxi fuel.
