How long have you been stuck there? Sorry to hear that.

Bush Airport?

This happened to me about a year ago. It was along the eastern coast. They said it had to do with the computers. Sat in the plane for a while until they let us all off to wait. Pain in the neck, good luck.

"Hard" has a special meeting in the airline industry:

"Say, what's a mountain goat doing in a cloud bank?"

[Allegra]

Do you have an extra pair of socks in your carry-on?

You know, in case it's a long delay.

[cajungirl]

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.

that stuff they’re going to serve you, it’s not chicken

Hey, ask someone with US Air what a hard shutdown is as opposed to a soft one.

All US Airways flights are controlled from Pittsburgh. No flight can depart without clearance from there, so if computers are down in PIT, no go.

...and you never mentioned your destination. Maybe it was a place that we find tonight had a natural disaster strike it or something else bad.

-or-

Perhaps you were on your way to meet up with an old girlfriend who looks like Miss America and cooks like Julia Child.

Should someone be startin a prayer thread?

And ah give a little wink to Bruce....you might get some extra nuts.....

Are you in an Airbus? If they have a computer problems sometimes they have to go complete electrical shutdown for a “reboot” believe it or not..

If you're going to Illinois look for a man on the side of the road, he'll have heavy bangs of black hair, holding a sign that reads:

Will Govern For Food
