Delay

After my experience traveling into LGA over the last 3 months, I swore that I would never again take Delta into LGA. It’s ALWAYS backed up.

Then tonight, I was forced to switch back from my EWR flight. And all seemed miraculous. The flight took off on time. It was pleasant. The pilot went straight over Manhattan at sunset, offering an unbelievable view of the city. It was a fitting end to my Tampa study.

Except that now I’m sitting on the runway. Apparently our gate is open but there are too many planes between here and there, and we can’t get through.

Sure it’s frustrating, but my expectations are so unbelievably low that I’m not actually that upset. I can actually enjoy other people’s misery….as soon as the plane landed, everyone around got on their cell phones to complain to their loved ones about a 20 minute delay. They are dropping F-bombs all over the place. They are PISSED. They have no idea.

In the past 7 weeks, this flight has not taken off within 2 hours of its scheduled departure time.
