Vanity - sitting on the tarmac on a USAirways flight from Houston. Pilot announced a "system-wide hard shut down." Anyone know what's up?

Made me giggle.
Okay, nobody wants to tell you but you have a right to know.
Jack Bauer is on the case but the thug from Sengali has a machine that is making airplanes collide and you are on a hard shut down b/o that and because the President, who is a woman, won’t back down as she should as her advisors are telling her to {they are probably treasonous}
But not to worry,,Chloe is on the case and so is Tony, who is back from the dead.
Yep - pulled out my Blackberry after they shut things down. At least the ac is on.
That was posted because of the ice storm, not any computer problems.
Sorry, should have posted that before the “Cities Affected” line.
Blackberry.
Shutting down a plane “immediately” sounds like an operational problem.
that stuff they’re going to serve you, it’s not chicken
It's about 59 degrees in Houston, so they should be medium-weight socks.
LOL - Well, I've seen some cute fifty-year olds.
Fly Aeroflot some time. I think the stewardesses are all ex-army. I asked for two cans of Harp (Irish lager) and got sneered at. And the beer was warm at that. (I had asked for two because the amount of adult beverages on the cart was scarce and I thought I might not get another one if I had waited) LOL
Correct.
Lol! Post more Farside
Hey, ask someone with US Air what a hard shutdown is as opposed to a soft one.
Check for nearby Canada Geese!! with turbans!!! LOL
LOL!!
I've never found a pair of socks that stay up that were not made from wool.
Hehehee,Love my new Storm.
You like the Storm? I’ve been thinking of an upgrade.
