on board 9 July 2008
Well, this is a real doozie – I am emailing this from an airplane. I am on a packed plane sitting by the stand at heathrow – packed because a previous flight to Dublin was canceled (no explanation) and all of those passengers were bounced onto our flight. Steadily things got put off and off and we eventually boarded, to be told when strapped in that the radar is down in Dublin and we might not push back till 5 pm or so. It’s such a mess it almost sounds like a lie. Passengers now going nuts with boredom, frustration and the threat of deep vein thrombosis.
Ooh we seem to be attempting a push back – I will report from the other side…if we make that landfall this day.
I have a 6.30 doc’s appointment in the middle of Dublin’s town – wonder how my chances of making that rate??
