Kudos to the pilot and crew who tried to make the best of a terrible scenario. What a horrible embarrassment for them. Please let's all remember that their performance is what keep us coming back and not running the other way in terror. I hope that fate is kind to them when their current employer tanks ...
What about BDL? Why are you not blaming THEM? Why wasn't a gate made available within 7 HOURS? If no gates (which seems like such a lie) why weren't there buses to drive the passengers to the terminal MUCH EARLIER than after 7 hours of being stuck on a plane? BDL is SILENT. What on earth was THEIR PROBLEM?
