You know....i think Nortwest was the airline in my story. And there's even MORE to it.
We got on the plane, sat for about 20 minutes, the captain came on and told us "The instrament that shows us how close we are to the mountains isn't working, so we have to have a tech look at it." So the guy comes on, messes around with it for a half hour and leaves.
The captain comes back on "He can't fix it, so we have to leave this plane and get on the one at the next gate." So we all get up, grab our carry-ons, and start out the door...........captain comes back on "Ive just been informed that plane is too small, so the tech is going to take the part off the smaller plane and use it to fix ours."
Took another 40 minutes.
THEN the whole "de-icing" mess started.

LOL!
I have flown 4 or 5 times in my life.
The flight i just told about was my wife's first. She was afraid to fly, and i kept telling her how easy it is........then THAT happens. Then, we hit turbulence like you wouldn't BELIEVE! We had businessmen on that flight, and they all said they never had such a bad flight. Then when we landed in Minneapolis for our connecting flight, we fell out of the sky when we landed. It was "BOOM!" and we hit the runway.
My wife just about KILLED me!!!!!!!!
The flight home was perfect though. Not ONE problem, and we actually arrived 40 minutes early.

I am one of those people who can truthfully say my takeoffs exceed my landings. 🙂

Reminds me of when Louis CK was on Conan. Youtube took it down (bastards) and I can't find it anywhere, but it went along the lines "everything's amazing, and nobody's happy". He goes on to talk about how everyone talks about how the worst day of their life was when they had to fly. Then he says that people should just be in wonder because they're in a chair in the sky and a hundred years ago traveling so far in such little time was impossible. It really is quite funny when he says it though, I encourage you to try and find the video somewhere if you can.

Biggest cluster-fuck EVER.

Headed to Green Bay last Friday:

"We will start boarding as soon as we can find the pilot. Thank you for your patience."

Then 6 hours, and 7 gate changes later(I am not joking), I finally get to Green Bay.

Return flight yesterday:

They de-ice the plane, we taxi out to the runway, then all of a sudden we turn around and taxi back to the jet bridge.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the de-icing process was not done correctly, and we will need to repeat the process. Thank you for your patience."

So, they de-ice again, and we sit there, and wait, and wait, and wait some more.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just a little update; the de-icing truck ran out of de-icing fluid, and we will need to repeat the process. We will take off as soon as it is completed. Thank you for your blah blah blah."

So I get to Chicago and of course I missed my connecting flight to Springfield, and had to stay the night at a hotel, AT MY EXPENSE.

Still stuck in Chicago. I hope to make it home today, but United may have other plans.

Please do not EVER use United Airlines. EVER

NEVER.

Finnair for the win. I've been on their planes multiple times (maybe 10, I'm not sure). My flight hasn't even ever been delayed. No turbulence ever. I guess luck has to do with it too, but still. Finnair is an airline you can trust. If you ever have to option to use them (maybe if you have to take a connecting flight in Europe) you should do it. I will 90% guarantee you won't be dissapointed.

Sorry if that sounded like I was trying to sell you tickets, lol.

This is a placeholder

Makes it even more tempting to see Nightwish and/or HIM in their native country. 😉

beast (5h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (5h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (5h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (5h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (5h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (7h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (7h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (7h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (7h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (21h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
