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?

I am now sitting in 1A on 1594...With another worthless positive space upgrade coupon and a care kit, which I had to pull teeth to get.
