I also hate “interesting” flights

Early after takeoff they asked if there was a doctor or nurse on board who could come to the back of the plane. Now we’ve made an unscheduled landing in KC and two cops came on board. Looks now like a couple EMTs are on board. They just took a young man off. He told the pilot he was sorry and did not have a gun. Sounds like a mental health thing.

Fun!

[Mik]

Not. They just de-planed us. Some crew issue.

[Mik]

Now they’re talking about rebooking.

[Renauda]

Ugh.

[jon-nyc]

Ouch. Sorry to hear that

Mayla’s friends flew in Saturday from Sarasota. 11am flight delayed to 1, then 2, then 4:30. The pilot had to land in Charlotte because he was over his time limit. They didn’t deplane, a new pilot came on and got them to LGA at 9pm.

Man, oh man!

Well it looks like @Jolly was right.... 7am flights usually take off on time. But as you can see, the rest of the trip can be FUBAR. Sorry @Mik !

[Mik]

Not too bad. Should be the same plane, only cost is a couple hours. Fingers crossed.

I can just see the Good Samaritan doc, say an internist, or dare I say, a surgeon jumping up and going to the back of plane expecting some elderly with chest pain and finding instead a nutter muttering nonsense.

Did he have the fish?

[Mik]

Made it. Only other incident was someone’s dog crapped in the terminal in LAS. One would believe they knew and did nothing.

[kluurs]

a great story that captures the true meaning of Festivus.

[Mik]

That’s a totes legit grievance.

[Renauda]

I just dislike airports and all the rigamarole involving time and humanity between the building entrance and the boarding gate.

[Mik]

We made the news.

Glad it made the news but holy crap I hate articles like that which provide nearly zero details (aka journalism).
