Severe weather radio does not sound like as much fun as music, but under the circumstances, that's an understandable decision. Perhaps I could have worded it a bit better, but that post was intended to have a tongue-in-cheek slant to it. In any event, good luck keeping all those little blips nicely separated whether you work at IAD, DCA, "Washington Center" or elsewhere. :) Thanks for your comment, Danielle.

This strict policy has been in effect less than 2 years, but prior to this, it depended on who the crew was in the tower that night! We were known to enjoy a multitude of genres, but the delays mentioned have everything to do with spacing requirements into Boston, not who was or was not on the plane.
