...gotta laugh.I got back in from Dallas to Newark last night, beating the storm by a few hours. Flight left the gate on time at DFW, but just as we were about to hit the takeoff runway, the message nobody wants to hear was heard: “Is there a doctor on board?”
Some poor fellow in first class lost his lunch and the EMTs had to help him off the plane. Too bad he didn’t get sick before he boarded. Good news is he didn’t get sick after takeoff, since we would have had to land at the nearest airport.
One would think that it would only take a few minutes to get going going again, but, apparently, it’s not that easy. They had to find and retrieve his checked baggage (theoretically, he could have left a bomb in there) and they had to refuel, get re-queued on the flight line, etc. All in all, it took over an hour.
I spent 8 days in Texas and went outside exactly once. Temps were below freezing every day, with strong winds. It is supposed to warm up to the mid-60s there today, but I am enjoying the latest blizzard here in the People’s Republic of New Jersey.
Xshub was in Dallas Sunday to weds and never left the hotel other than getting out of and into the cab from airport. He said it was nice yesterday there when he was leaving.
Sounds like you had bad luck weather wise on your visit - hope it is better next time
