Angry Consecutive flights with mechanical problems - 3 and counting
I have had 3 consecutive UA flights with mechanical delays.

It started last Tuesday when UA 766 from JFK to SFO sat at the gate at JFK for over 3 hours. Yesterday on UA 808 from SFO to JFK, they stopped boarding the plane and had to find a replacement (which fortunately didn't take long). Although I was worried about making my connection at JFK, I shouldn't have. UA 5714 left JFK 4 hours late (mechanical, not weather).

Is it just my bad luck, or have others had similar bad experiences?

Can anyone top 3 in a row? I am going for #4 next Wednesday.
