Ground crew kid can't figure out how to close our door. Flight attendant had to show him.

Damn. This guy is in the lav again!

Flight attendant offered him some medicine. He said nothing was wrong. Wait--this is normal for this guy???

I'm about to deploy an O2 mask so I don't suffocate.

Deploy the stink shield!

Sorry to hear of your :rolleyes:. On the bright side, I hear the compensation package can be pretty good if a river of feces runs down the aisle of your flight. :-:

I've done the sewage in the aisle in F thing before. ORD-IAH on a UA E70 with a F lav that was overflowing before we left the gate at ORD. Shuttle America's maintenance "fixed" it with an out of order sign. Brown juice on carpet had reached back to around row 10 by the time we landed.

We got nothing.

I'm looking outside right now in Downtown, and things look rather bleak on all horizons (though, oddly, downtown is calm). I wouldn't expect to arrive in Houston anytime soon.

ETA - The sky is a nice mix of green and black up on the North side. :-:

Apparently there are two CO flights and ssullivan's DL flight waiting to go to IAH from HOU. No one is moving at this point, and ssullivan's Mad Dog has an APU problem leading to a lack of A/C while on the ground. Just a banner day for flying. :o

Edit: There's a NW flight waiting too. AUS ATC reports two slots open to IAH but they are holding everyone to see if anything else is going to open up. Sounds like a winning plan. :rolleyes:

Poop reference of the day. Bonus points for a liquid poo reference.

Local business not the cafeteria. Yup I did. I am just working in the mornings for this week.

I think the DC-9 AC's are connected to the main engine and not APU. That's why NW never run the things when they are on the gate, well they haven't since they got those pieces of crap from the old Republic.


Another poop reference. I forgot to mention during my Amtrak ordeal last week that the toilets don't flush on the train when the power's out.

Just wasted some time on the FailBlog.

WWTBD?

Westin Ft. Lauderdale or Sheraton Suites Plantation? Both are $99 for Oct 30 but the Westin looks to have a nice review on FT which mentions free parking for Plats. No recent review for SSP. We get in MIA at 11:30 pm and dont expect to be at the hotel until 1 am and out the door by 8 so the only real important thing might be a free breakfast and parking.

Paging belynch, and anyone else based in NYC, I just booked a flight on AA 10/30-11/1 LGA-MIA for $122 a/i (using a 10% off coupon from the AA tennis thing)

Oh, and DL "can't get us water."

I really needed to use the lav so I made the trek to the back of the plane. Not nearly as noxious back there. At least up here in F the main cabin door is open, so we're getting some ventilation.

Demand to get off or call 911. That is BS.

He's in line for takeoff now. 15 mile separation so it's more hurry up and wait. I've counted seven flights waiting to from AUS to IAH so far.
