DELAY/DELAY/DELAY
I am sitting in councourse A at Pittsburgh's International Airport. My connection to Newark, NJ was supposed to leave at 4:00 PM. There was a delay until 5:50 posted when I stepped off my flight from Indy. Then 6:05 and now 6:39. If things stay on track now then I will get in to Newark at around 8:15. Tempers are flaring! Not mine, but I have overheard some people blowing up at the Gate Agents because they were bumped for people with higher frequent flier standing. Curse words were flying even though the planes apparently are not. A gate agent talking to another customer said that all of the flights out of Pittsburgh today are oversold more than usual. Cha-ching for the airlines and the restaurants and stores in the airport mall. For us lowly passengers it is just sit-and-wait time.
Lesson for the air traveler: don't blow up at the gate agent, he or she is not the target of your anger!
Airport workout
I have made use of my 3 hours of unplanned idle time to do some work email, laps around the concourse, and update this blog. I will not make it in time for dinner with my colleagues tonight but maybe in time for a drink.
