flight delays suck

[KLin]

So i'm sitting here in the Long Beach airport waiting for a "slight mechanical failure" to be repaired on our airplane right now :thumbsdown:. The only good thing about this is the wireless interenet in the wait area. :thumbsup:


UPDATE #1: Just found out it's now a major mechanical failure, minimum 3 hour delay. a mechanical crew is coming from LAX to fix the problem. Looks like I'll be here surfing ATOT for another 3 hours. DAMN YOU ALASKAN AIRLINES :thumbsdown::|

Update #2: They came on the intercom about 25 minutes ago and said the part had arrived and they were installing it/testing it and it would take about an hour. Hopefully We'll be boarding at 5:30pm.

maybe if you all sign a waiver they'll let you fly a broken plane

yeah, i like places with free wireless (like richmond international), in NY laguardia you have to pay, i guess too many people with wireless.

Alaskan? dude, they're the one with that plane that had failed rear rudder and the plane took a dive into the pacific. I flew with them once, the entire UNV football team on board after losing to some school in washington state.

I didn't really need to know about a plane taking a dive in the pacific ocean.

don't worry about it, at least they caught something. besides, if a plane is taking a dive, i'd rather have it dive into the ocean instead of, sierra nevada.

I don't think it would make much of a difference I knew I should have brought a DVD or 2 to watch on my laptop

I prefer LGB to LAX exactly for the free wireless.
