DELTA AIRLINES KEEPS PASSENGERS SITTING IN PLANE 12 HOURS

Delta Airlines kept passengers aboard one of its planes for nearly 12 hours. The flight out of Kansas City was among several canceled or delayed during Tuesday’s ice storm. Passengers sat on the plane from 6:30 a.m. to about 6 p.m. After pulling back from the gate several times during the day, the flight was finally canceled. A Delta spokeswoman blamed weather-related woes, as ice accumulation drove prolonged de-icing times, prompting some flights to return to the gate which in turn impacted wait times for arriving aircraft. Delta says they proactively reached out to customers, though after the flight was canceled Tuesday night, no airline reps met passengers at the gate. Instead, they were given cards with a Delta customer service number.
* And they thought the ice storm was cold.
* At least they didn’t have to watch America lose more medals at the Olympics.
* The worst part? They kept replaying the in-flight movie, “Baywatch”.
* How about all the passengers pitch in and bribe the pilot to take the highway?
* To pass the time, the flight attendants had passenger-dragging contests up and down the aisle.
