Sitting in Charlotte and Atlanta airports and bored -- help

    I hope you at least enjoyed the rocking chairs in Charlotte.

    If you're still laying over, holla back. I'm in Philly trying to get to Indianapolis tonight. It isn't looking good. It's snowing and the gate agent is acting like she wants to go home.
    Just hypothetically, this is for anybody out there, if I volunteered to check people in myself just to get this fucking plane to Indy, do you think U.S. Airways would take me up on it?

    Reporting back for the masses...
    Didn't get to hit up the rocking chairs in Charlotte. My security checkpoint wasn't near them, and I just grabbed a drink instead.
    I found little to do in Atlanta, although I did decide that I was going to get drunk on the late flight out of Atlanta. I paid the 40 bucks for the Business Class upgrade on Airtran. I then proceded to have 7 Jack and Diets on a 2-hour flight. Needless to say, I'm a teensie bit drunk.
    So that was fun.

    Sounds like someone decided to take my advice. ;)

    Oh, and I did get to see the eclipse from 32,000 ft. Pretty cool looking.

    Inasmuch as you're still on the message board, I take it that looking at a lunar eclipse doesn't lead to blindness. ;)

    I'm in neither Charlotte nor Atlanta, but I am at LaGuardia (quite possibly the shittiest all-around airport in the U.S.) and was, I'm proud to say, the absolute first person through security and at the gate.

    Yes, it's early. But since SportsJournalists.com was the first site I pulled up after I sat down, it was well worth it.

    Ha ha. Me and a bunch of other interested passengers watched that story on CNN while we were waiting for our flight to Detroit. Good for a laugh.

    Now I'm in Detroit. Delayed. AGAIN. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I could possibly (maybe) see one pilot falling asleep BUT both of them? No way.

    Other possibility --- Mile High Club? (could apply to sex or marijuana here) ... I'm just saying.

    I know many are awaiting breathlessly ...
    The agent had her coat on and her purse on her arm when we finally boarded. Got to Indy between 1:30 and 2 a.m.
    The Indianapolis airport is a lovely place at that hour. I woke up a cabbie and headed for the vibrant heart of the city, basking in the lovely weather.
