layin on the smackdown Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Glad you had a safe flight back home Alan....I'm pretty sure with all the crap you went through getting there, that i would have booked a one way ticket on a Greyhound, or even a horse and carriage for that matter....man do i hate flying, and i really hate hearing about situations like yours :jaw:...

stevebeilgard Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 it was a good pilot that taxied back to the ramp when something came up. i know it's frustrating, but it's the way it should be. old saying: there are old pilots, and there are bold pilots. but there are no old bold pilots.
