The captain had to leave between bowel movements. He’s having problems today.

Were there any passengers?

One time I was three hours old.

And yet, it will STILL be 3 hrs. late.

“We think we might have a ‘Ripley’s Believe or Not’ item here. May we photograph that look of stupification on your face?”

This is totally real. My wife and her friends booked a flight in November 2023. They have received 3 emails about the plane changing size and seats. Then the 4th one came, my wife thought it was another seat change, NO!!!, the plane was now leaving 2 days earlier, IDIOTS the airlines are. She was glad she read the email closer this time.

“Attention passengers for flight 1038 to Detroit. Do we have anyone here who knows how to fly a big airplane? We’ll upgrade your seat.”

Well, flying empty is a good way to save gas and seating problems.

What a fine mess to be in.

The plane is loaded, and so is the captain.

Oops!!!

Early is often worse than late.

Not as farfetched as you would think. I once took an “American Eagle” flight (about a 14 seat plane) and when they got 14 seats filled, reservations were not considered, they took off!Those of us who were on time and WITH reservations were NOT amused!!!

That has not nor will ever happen

…and probably won’t be given a voucher
