Default sometimes travelling can bea pain in the butt. - 10-24-2005, 03:23 PM

Today I had a 1:20 flight to St. Louis, then an hour layover before flying on to Decatur, IL. So we board and we're sitting there waiting for them to close the door. The plane is small, one of t ose kind that have one seat on one side and two on the other. All of sudden the whole plane shakes! It turns out the dang baggage guy has just rammed the plane with his truck. it hit the plane so hard his truck is wedged under the luggage bay door. a whole crowd of supervisors gathers around while they try to decide what to do. finally they pry him lose and discover that the door has a dent in it. so then they make us wait some more while they measure the dent to see if the door is still within design tolerances. of course they end up cancelling the flight. what really chaps my butt is that it took forever to make the decision. then it took forever to get us rebooked. now instead of getting to Decatur at 4:30 i get in at eight something. of course it beats arriving in a corn field, nose first, doing 200 mph because our door fell off.

i'm typing this on my PDA. sorry about the bad typing.

If they would have just broke out a roll of duct tape, then I would have worried

Be happy you aren't flying on an airline where they don't give a shit about your safety.
