I used to calculate the odds of my originally scheduled Delta Connection flight leaving the ground. Now it appears I might also have to factor in the odds of it remaining airborne all the way to its destination.

If you could find a way to turn the kid on & off, this would be useful insurance if you're ever faced with a 7-hours delay on the tarmac -- just wheel out the apple juice kid.
