A Few From Lyon, France

...and since we're flying a 757 with Pratt engines, they can't locate a part. HOPEFULLY I'll be able to make it tomorrow.

On the bright side you get an extra three hours of pay! :nana2:

And consistent with a being on the road, I'm freaking CRAVING TACOS. Gah.

I just had a PHX layover and stayed at the Hilton Squaw Peak for the first time. Aunt Chilada's tacos with those homemade tortillas fraking rock dude. Mmmmmm.

Don't they!? One of the few domestic layovers I'll miss. Although, looking at the ATL ER trips, I now know why I couldn't hold a line my last month domestic. Maybe now, if I ever get my TOE out of the way, I'll be able to hold a line flying "domestic" trip.

BTW, any good memory items to help remember to say, "Approaching ______ fix?"
 
Still stuck there?

Yes.

Day X of the hostage crisis. Apparently we're leaving at 0800, but got a telephone call that it *might* be 1630 CET today.

The parts arrived from the US and someone left them on the ramp.

Then they got lost.

The station manager says if they're able to FIND the parts and then get them on the earliest Air France flight to LYS, we should be able to depart.

Haven't gotten a telephone call yet so the 1630 flight might actually be on! Hoo hoo!

Incredible Magret de Canard au poivre today for lunch. O MAH GOTT!

If we are able to depart, we'll actually be flying back as a empty ferry (not fairy) flight.

A 757ER with like eight people, all crew and nothing else. Do you think we're going to climb like a rocketship today? Umm yes!
 
What Doug? The duck wasn't fattened enough, the wine not French enough?
Damn French baastaards!

Careful, clearly waterboarding you is on their agenda next!

Get out of that hellhole now. Let us know if we need to send in the Navy Seals to help extract you.

We feel your pain maing.
 
Doug,

Did you see any of the neon construction paper signs with just a name and a number on them. When I was there they were all over the place. I asked my buddy who lived there what they were. Apparently they were advertisements for female companionship.
 
Reminds me when I left my glove in a Horizon baggage compartment and it ended up somewhere in California, and somehow I got my glove a couple days later.
 
Cool photo from the free zoo behind the hotel in the park:

If you've got a great hotel and a station manager that knows what he's doing:

Beautiful photo, but believe it or not, about six feet to the right of me is an icky used condom and some broken glass.
