I think we should get letters from the CEOs of restaurants when we have rude waiters, what do you think?
They did offer unlimited snacks during both flights. But, on the way there, I was too mad to eat, and on the way back, I was too tired.
Please define "snacks."
A free ticket is the least they could do.
And the CEO's first born.
Ok... maybe not the first born.
Yes, Miss P, and I think we should be allowed to pelt them with food! I'm kidding, for the most part.
I wonder if they'll be able to dig out of this hole.
American and NW survived similar disastrous PR.
We'll see. It's gonna be tough. I don't see how you justify keeping people trapped on a plane for 11 hours without food or bathrooms. And, those people want more than an apology and a free flight.
At least, I was stuck in the terminal.
But, the flight home was fine and the crew couldn't have been friendlier or more patient with some very pissed off passengers.
I was trapped on a plane once for 6 hours. It was a wretched experience. They gave us NOTHING to make up for it!

If they tried to keep me penned up in a plane, I'd create my own emergency exit!
But, DG, what if you were trapped in a plane with Sam Shepard?
I was trapped in a plane when we landed at Dallas/Fort Worth. We were stuck just outside the gate for a few of hours. Meanwhile, our connecting flight flew off to sunny Cal without us. The airline decided to blame us. That was fun, too. No sign of Sam Shepard on that flight.
Is it bad the my worry turns to thinking of people traveling with pets? When we were moving to Seattle, we were stuck on the runway for about an hour due to a storm, and all we could think about was Walter Bondi.
the cows bring in ice tea for all*
*the hippo throws a snowball at miss p
Luckily the longest I've been stuck on a plane itself was 1 1/2 hours. Of course, I was running late to begin with and did the movie run down the terminal to board the plane. Got to my seat panting like an animal (still smoking at the time) and the pilot announces "looks like there is a traffic jam and we won't be taking off for an hour". I was just a bit upset.

"trapped in a plane with Sam Shepard?"
Then everyone else would have to leave
Harris, are you throwing snowballs at me because you're still mad at me for running off with some of your guests at the Valentine's Day Party?
DG, we can't see Sam's gorgeous face in that avatar!!!
Hi, Hep!

I know, Miss P - but it's enough to trigger my memories - and if you go to my bio page and enlarge it, well, it's enlarged
Sam IS the man! He is so handsome and yet so cerebral, plus he's an excellent actor. I mean, the guy has it all!
yes miss p it is =P
Harris, I apologize for being a selfish prig and distracting your other guests with the temptation of a good time. (But you WERE ignoring us.)
i did not
Poor Dottie was outside for two hours with his soggy cupcakes!!!
What? Dottie's cupcakes got soggy?
Harris!
Yes, DD. Ask Dottie if you don't believe me. Or search...it is all well-documented.

I can vouch - I believe I was involved in the getaway (I had the booze - can you imagine?)
