As usual, our flight is all fucked up. Delayed for 8 hours...
 

If anyone is hitting SD from the South East they are redirecting flights at major airline hubs. You may want to call your airline to verify your flight has not been cancelled or bumped due to the storm.

Just a heads up weary travelers :thumbsup

sorry to hear that :( It was pretty bumpy coming in yesterday

That sucks bro..... nice job btw on 2257ware looks solid...

Good luck getting to SD man :)

Ohhhhh JFK don't tell me that, I am afraid to fly, I hate it. Please tell me the weather there is perfect for landing...lol

You guys will be in my thoughts for a safe trip, and so sorry about the delay!

Thanks man, it gets better everyday, still 'chuggin along on it making improvements, etc.

Thanks Chase. Good thing is the day is getting better. We have a Starbucks, smoker's lounge, and now wi-fi. :thumbsup

For anyone who may not remember, EVERY trip we have taken to a webmaster event has turned into a piss pot, every damn time... :Oh crap

Landing in SD wasnt bad, the layover in Phoenix sucked , very bumpy landing there. People had Barf bags out :throwup

See that's exactly whatI can't take very well. i hate not knowing why the plane is doing this or that. Even worse is the time you lose altitude AND the engines go quite. It may be my ears popping at the same time as the decent, but my head can't put it together fast enough for my to stay calm. I get all basket case when that shit happens.

NB, you made my day with this thread yesterday:

Have a safe and relaxing flight!

PS: One of these days I'm going to make it to a show and meet you and Arika in person ... but not this time :(

NewBreed, I need to track you down once you get here. We have stuff to discuss :)

UPDATE: Just ogt confirmed on the 4:50p.m. flight, I have boarding passes in hand!!!

Elli you won't know me from Adam, just look for Arika, I will be the ugly goon next to her. :winkwink:

I once flew from Chicago to Atlanta. We took off in a storm and it was bumby going out. We went through some intense turbulence and people were literaly holding onto their seats. The pilot changed flight paths east then west. Changed altitudes many times all to no avail. He assured everyone the plane was fine and just to hang on and we'll be there soon. After about 45 mins everything was calm and there was no more turbulence. The pilot came on the intercom to tell everyone he was going to turn seatbelt required sign off and we could wander through the plane and stretch our legs. Half way through him saying this the plane must have dropped a good 5000 feet. He came back on the intercom and said, "Folks, just hang on. I'll get us to Atlanta as fast as I can." There were a lot of people thankful to get off that plane alive in Atlanta.

hehe ok. I think I can pick her out of a crowd :)

Yeah man that thread was good stuff. So much hate and competition with myself and others brought me down for a while but then I just sat and looked around for like 4 hours and I could not find one thing in my life that is wrong right now. Everything I could see, touch, smell, hear, etc. was exactly how I would have wisehed for years ago. I am in that place in life where it's time to enjoy minutes and hours as they come, not build a list of memories of the day before. I really couldn't be happier.

Man I would have pooped myself if I was in a plane that dropped that much that fast. My worst one was Vegas this year coming home. It took forever to get off the ground. Then once we were in the air it just didn't feel right. We weren't really climbing as high as you would expect for a flight out of McClaren. The the Capt. came over the radio and told everyone that the light indicating the door of the plane was on... Talk about an oh shit moment. So he then says we have to land ASAP, and it would be an emergency landing, freaking wonderful... So we get on the ground without the cabin de-pressurizing, which was a welcome relief...lol The sensor had failed, so it was a false alarm. The Pilot did the right thing and executed it perfectly.

I might add that this happened AFTER a few hour delay due to some heavy storms on both coasts, so it really was icing on the cake for that flight.

I also might add that when we landed in Dayton the door was stuck shut, we had to unload on the runway from a ladder at the back of the plane... :1orglaugh

I remember posting a thread about that a while ago with pics.

Yeah man it got better and better as we walked around. I stopped an officer here and asked where I could buy a new lighter since I had to throw mine out before I hit the screeners. He said, "Hell, just go to the smoking lounge right over there and someone is sure to have matches." Good deal. So on the way over we grab some coffee, can it get any better? Hell yeah it can... After looking all over for network access and seeing these asshats want .35 cents a minute for the little net kiosks this lady at the info counter said, "I don't know what it means but we have something called w-fi." DO YOU? GD let's get it on then...lol So it's $9.95 for 24 hours of high speed access. This is almost as good as home exept people are loud and rude in line here...lol

Oh yeah, in the smoker's lounge there are AC oulets for my power supply... Thanks CVG and Delta for keeping me powered up all day.....LOLOLOLOL

I hate when my flight is screwed!
