minus-square@FreeLikeGNUlink6•edit-26 months agoMe boarding a 777 on Friday after a very long week of business travel, a true story: Pilot: “Looks like we’ll get to San Jose 30 minutes ahead of schedule” 10 minutes later… Pilot: “Just waiting for some paperwork before we can leave the terminal” 30 minutes later… Pilot: “Sorry we can’t leave until the maintenance records are updated”. 30 minutes later… Pilot: “We’re still waiting for sign-off” 5 minutes later… Pilot: “By law, we have to allow passengers off the plane as it’s been over an hour at the terminal” I de-board looking for any other flight, but it turns out there are no seats on any other plane in this airport… Terminal attendant: “They have the paperwork now you can re-board if you wish” What would you do?

Me boarding a 777 on Friday after a very long week of business travel, a true story:
Pilot: “Looks like we’ll get to San Jose 30 minutes ahead of schedule”
10 minutes later…
Pilot: “Just waiting for some paperwork before we can leave the terminal”
30 minutes later…
Pilot: “Sorry we can’t leave until the maintenance records are updated”.
30 minutes later…
Pilot: “We’re still waiting for sign-off”
5 minutes later…
Pilot: “By law, we have to allow passengers off the plane as it’s been over an hour at the terminal”
I de-board looking for any other flight, but it turns out there are no seats on any other plane in this airport…
Terminal attendant: “They have the paperwork now you can re-board if you wish”
What would you do?
