After 4 flights on United in 7 days, I’ve almost had it with them. 4 hours
late out of Dulles for SFO, 1 1/2 to LA, and 2 back to SFO… They should
change their little saftey announcement to read “In the unlikely event of an
on-time departure, please do not be alarmed…” Unreal.
Usually, airports bring out the worst in people. But, this Friday night, I saw
the exact opposite. EVERYONE in the bar was delayed and had kind of come to
terms with that fact, so we all decided to just drink. As someone went to the
bathroom, whe he/she came back, we would get an update of who was delayed from
the flight status board.
The Sara Lee company has an interesting expense policy (several of there
employees were delayed in the bar) – no alcohol unless you have food with it.
So somewhere in Oakland is a woman with a receipt for about 20 beers and a
couple bags of pretzels.
Ian – After spending 1 night in a bar in Westwood, I now see why you despise LA
as much as you do, and I would like to go on record as an LA-Hater as well.
