Flew SJC-SEA on Monday - flight was delayed for 2.5 hrs because of a missing fusebox cover in the cockpit. Where the heck did it go - it can't fall off the plane- perhaps the captain took it home without realizing?! So they had to courier a cover over from OAK to SJC during rush hour. I figure that they should keep a couple spare fusebox covers just in case a pilot snags one again...

Then on the return, we board a flight and sit on the tarmac for 90 minutes while they are working on a minor problem - air conditioning warning light was coming on, even though the A/C was working. Then while fixing the problem, another problem arose. Had to deplane and get bumped to the flight that got me in 2.5 hrs after my originally scheduled landing.

Hopefully they can improve their process to fix problems like these more efficiently, while maintaining proper safety. I feel they fell short on this one. Free drinks would have been nice....but alas, they are no Southwest.
