Sitting on the tarmac for 4 hours

[larkin]

Currently on the tarmac at Shanghai Airport. Been sitting on the tarmac for five hours. Here's a breakdown of the delays
- air traffic control not allowing us to push back (1.5hrs)
- warning popped up and required minor engine repair (1.5hr)
- once fixed air traffic control refused to prioritize us and we waited at the back of the queue (1hr)

That is all

Captain just said we can push back now.
