Was on the flight in 2d. Only on it bc my earlier flight was delayed and would have missed my connection.

Crew on board did an amazing job. Kudos to the pilots and in flight crew. We made an extremely fast and steep descent.

Everything fell apart on the ground. Part I can understand bc of the small operations in Mem. But the woman there was yelling at passengers and was even b*tching about a man paralyzed from the waist down.

After an hour plus on the ground those continuing on only to Mke had no information. After a travel day of 8 plus hours with my first delay and then the emergency landing, and with no help from airtran in Memphis, I booked a ticket on delta that got me to Mke 8 hours late.

The whole reason I went was to see the bucks/hornets game, all but 10 minutes of which I missed.

I'm at Mke now heading back to Msy. What, if anything, should I ask for in compensation? My delta ticket? My expensive ticket to the game? Refund of airtran ticket?
