A truly historical flight
Last Friday, I was on DL 425 (ATL-JAX). Prior to the flight we were informed that this was the Captain's last flight after 32 years of service. We were told that as a salute, the plane would be sprayed by the water cannons on 2 fire trucks. Sounds like a plan, except one of the trucks used fire retardant foam instead of water, clogging a engine.. As a result, we had to go back to the gate, deplane and wait for a new plane. We arrived in JAX two hours later and we met by 2 fire trucks with water cannons. At least they got it right in JAX. Someone in ATL has a lot of explaining to do!
