BTW, I'd never been thru PTY. Did I catch it on a bad day or is that place a complete cluster? Packed, jumbled mess, no A/C in half the terminal (fans running everywhere),l and the Copa Club was worse than the terminal. Whole place seemed like a Greyhound bus terminal. Yuck!

It is - but still frustrating. In the past few months I have had this happen twice to me - both UEX flights. The lightbulb in the light above the exit door burns out - and no one ever seems to have a replacement at the outstations... It is especially disappointing to be deplaned and then watch the crew take the plane out and take off empty - leaving you stranded....

The captain announced it in his PDB remarks. Then we spent another 20 minutes BC a door wouldn't shut properly. However, crew was positive and kept everyone up to date.

this run seems to be unusally frequently affected by IRROPS!

I'm really impressed by this, given that in this day and age everyone seems eager to pass the buck on mistakes.

NRT-EWR 78
Horrible communication between pilot and ground staff. Pilot says 20 minute delay and ground staff says get off plane and go to lounge. After 4 hour delay latest is stop in SFO before EWR, still on plane over 4 hours waiting with few announcements. Delta here I come. This is becoming too common for me.
