Aborted takeoff
Today (9.24.11) CO flight 4749 aborted its 2:35pm takeoff from Boston (to CLE) about halfway down the runway due to mechanical problems. We returned to the gate and disembarked. The GA Daria did an outstanding job booking me into a DL flight to DAY. My bag was transferred to my flight and was with me (apparently) the entire way. I had paid $25 for the bag to CO since I rarely fly CO and use Plat AMEX for Delta incidentals.
I presume I will get a refund for the $25. There was one really disconcerting event: I called my son to back up my flight while still on the plane. Even though I was standing in the gate area, he was told I could not be backed up because the computer said the flight had departed.
