they're holding us here at this damn airport," he said. "We have suffered for hours."
Poor baby! All he wants to do is get to Miami so he can go to a strip club with his buddies....

Cable tie spacing and wire clamps on aircraft wiring bundles are not emergency essential repairs for safety and could be performed at the next 100 hour check.

If only the government could figure out how to profit from stupidity, all federal agencies would instantly become self supporting. Just think no more listening to democrats bad mouth the American worker with their “tax cuts for the rich” talking point.

It sounds like American Airlines didn’t grease the correct palm

Remember when the speed limit was 55 and you would get these events where people would create multiple car moving 55 mph roadblocks to demonstrate the stupidity of the whole thing?
