cigarman obviously has taken out several patents on wisdom,experience and local patriotism.

So lets get a few things straight - I have nothing against NC or the South . I do have something against non-existent customer service from an airline which sprouts its customer-focused philosophy daily.

As for the suggestions to take a later flight even such unseasoned trvellers as myself are capable of working that one out. Only one problem - CO told us very specifically to get back to the airport at 6:30 or else thay didn't know when they could get us out.

i also note cigarman that you have zero, zilch, nothing to say about the original event at TA or is that out of your sphere of experience?
