If you look at all the sections on ground delays, they apply regardless of cause. So all those people stuck on taxiways would be compensated.

Take UA907 (http://blogs.usatoday.com/sky/2007/03/flight_907.html). The original problem was a plane change.

So would this be considered conrollable (since the original delay was caused by UA) or uncontrollable (since the major portion of the delay was caused by the weather)?
