Here\'s some reality-tv for ya!
So I'm scheduled to fly flight 2139 from DFW to LAS (originally scheduled for 1530 central time) so I saunter out to gate 18 and the three gate agents are looking at me like I'm the Dali Lama with all the answers.
They're like "What can you do about the delay?"
"What delay?"
"Oh, they've got you on a ground stop until 1700 because of deicing".
My first thought was "Gee, suuuuure, it's LAS, tell me what's really up instead of what you're telling the passengers!"
Apparently, according to my sources, LAS got some snow this afternoon and the place is a wreck.
So I walk down to the jet, put my bags away, intercept the three flight attendats walking down the jetway towards the aircraft and say, "We're on a weather delay!"
Their response?
"Hahaha! Yeah, you're full of (expletive deleted)"
"No, really!"
I pick up my cellphone, call Kristie (who, by the way, is suppposedly going bowling with the same yahoo's who decided to cancel yesterday) and say "Hey, the flight is delayed because of weather/de-icing in LAS"
Her response?
"Noooo! Really?"
So here I am in the pilot lounge.
Real enough for ya?
