As I was sitting on the shuttle bus to LAX I received aTrip Alert that my 9:30 flight is delayed until 11:30 for mechanical problems. So if anyone is arriving later and needs to get into PC let me know.
If this flight is delayed 2+ hours am I entitled to any compensation?

I love the new WAP!

An easy mechanical fix. Waiting for the glue to dry! Pretty scarey.
I am going back to sleep on the round table near the bar.
I am third on the upgrade list.

Hopefully they have duct tape and paper clips in case it needs to be fixed again in flight ;) Have a good trip and enjoy the DO!

I sense a VDB in my future, if this keeps up and they start putting people on later flights!

I wouldn't be so sure about a VDB--I went down to gate 69A to standby for the 12:40 flight. The GA was thanking the volunteers and giving them drink coupons and told them to board.

Latest announcement. They had to paint over the glued area and it takes four hours, now a leak test...will I get to the DO? :eek:

Wait, four more hours? CO.com hasn't been updated.

i've also heard that there are problems with people getting from Los Angeles to the "DO"...from someone that was coming. all his text said was: "mechanical."

See I had the opposite experience (except my butt still hurts from sitting on the Jungle Jet for 2:20)...walked into the E Club at 5ish, gave them my card/id asked if there were a "bunch of folks here to meet with Larry", yes sir that starts at 6p up in Conf room D......that FREE wine tasting in Conf Room D was a TERRIFIC way to start the do!!!!

Lots of different parts actually I'd bet.
