[mooneyguy]

Wow, stuck on the runway for 8 hours, and then got stuck a second time on the way to the gate...

That would have been horrible getting stuck a second time feet from the bridge.

 

[ChasenSFO]

Feet from the jetway. Wow. I'm guessing there was no way to get enough snow cleared for some airstairs?

And the passengers were probably all sporting flip flops and Bob Marley shirts prepped to go to the Caribbean.

Now that would suck.

I ASSURE you - they weren't sitting on a runway for 8 hours.

Remember in passenger-speak, all hard surfaces at the airport are the runway.

Although it would provide a convenient reason on why the airport was closed all afternoon. (Well other than that pesky 18" of white stuff)

They should've called Joe Patroni!

True, but I'm assuming that mooneyguy knows better . . . lol.

Push at 8:35. Back to the gate at 3pm.

Maybe it's this new math, but isn't that 6 hours 25 minutes?

This wouldn't have happened if they were both ATPs...

Just wrote what the news report said! never said it was fact! well that is what the report said last night, obviously different today! Go figure, a news agency changing the story, as they get more information!

Oh, I'm just giving you poo!

Yes, because we all know that age and TT makes someone more reasonable. After all I've never met a middle aged pilot that hates their life.

Don't forget "tarmac!"

I figured. actually the thread was done with a bit of sarcasm from my part. I rarely believe what the media says. I should have added a disclaimer that the source was from the media...

Come on...it's Air Jamaica...they should have just told everyone to "Relax mon!!" And passed out the splifs:bandit:

Its the used cars salesman math

8(1) - 9(2) - 10(3) - 11(4) - 12(5) - 1(6) - 2(7) - 3(8)

See how easy that was?

 

[Swen]

There is a certainly an increased level of hilarity with it being an Air Jamacia flight slipping all over the taxiway I'd say.

 

[JA Yawd Bwoy]

Its actually Jamaica... this does bring back the scene of Sanka falling on the ice in Cool Running's though...:rotfl:
