4 hour delay from ATL-EWR
On 09/07/98, I flew on CO 388 from ATL-EWR. After an hour's delay in the air, we were diverted to BWI. We were held hostage on the tarmac for four hours, w/o AC, food, or water. So beware!! Both CO and NW will do it to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What would any of you have done in my situation?

It would have been well worth the delay for me. I would have spent my time looking up all the winning lottery numbers and studying the stock market ups and downs for 09/07/99. Then when I landed on 09/07/98 I would spend the next year prepairing my lotto picks and investments for 09/06/99. That must have been some plane to be able to fly through time.
Sorry, just couldn't resist that.

avek00: Editing after the fact takes all the fun out! People who come in late won't know what the earlier responders are talking about unless they pay attention to the editing date. You might also want to go back to "What would you do if you were stuck on the tarmac for seven hours?" There are several responses there, including one of yours.
