There you are...You sneak out of work just a little bit early....So you can begin your 4 day pass over the 4th of July weekend,,, Karma man Karma...
It was supposed to be a relatively short trip..
Charlotte (CLT) to Chicago (ORD)..1:47 minutes
Chicago (ORD) to Toronto, Canada (YYZ)..1:10 Minutes..
YEAH RIGHT...
We boarded in CLT ..got comfy .. left the gate "early"..started meandering through the traffic heading towards the runway....
In the corner of my eye, I saw a bunch of planes lined up in what we call "TIME OUT",, never a good sign, usually means weather somewhere...I laughed and said "poor babies".... then you hear IT..... Engines OFF....
Insert CUSS WORD HERE____________!!!!! Then the proverbial...
(Note: if you are a FA or a Frequent Flier, You know what I am about to say):
"""Uhhhhhhhhh,,,,,folks ....This is your Captain speaking....Uhhhhh we are gonna have to sit here for UUUhhhhh a bit...and wait for the uhhhh weather to clear in Uhhhhh Chicago, Sorry about the Uhhhh Delay".. blah blah blah.....
WE WAIT our 60 minutes... THEN..."Well, uhhhhhhhhh folks,,,, This is your captain again......Uhhhhhhhhhh we have just been informed by FAA, They just closed CHICAGO (how can you close Chicago?) Uhhhhhhhhhh we are going to have to return to the gate (insert another cuss word here) ...... 35 minutes later we were on our way..... Chicago, there it is... We didn't miss our flight to YYZ, because it to was delayed 900pm to 930pm to 949pm to 1000 to 1024.. okay, late but we board,,, FIRST CLASS thank you very much.. nice treat at the end of our long day..... 1:10 flight.. Up and Down, Easy Peasie....Yup indeedy.... NOT.... You can guess what happens now, the same storm that had CLOSED ORD, just closed YYZ.... We get to the hotel @ 0347... 12 hours LATER!!!
