Drew, I hope the radio silence means you are on the plane. WTF!! Why did they fly you north, to fly you to Orlando? At least fly to DFW, half way there. Crazy frakkin airlines. I hope things go better for you, and tomorrow is an easy day of meetings. In the meantime, they better bump you up to 1st class for free on everything or something. Vouchers out the wazzoo. That puts you in town like 24 hours past due, for a business trip. Be the squeaky wheel!
I'm sure if they could they would have done all of those things, problem is the system was totally flooded with people that needed rebooking and summer is miserable for finding an empty seat. They'd have put me into a first class seat if one existed. As it is they had to purchase a ticket for me on a competing airline to get me to my destination, and they've already given me a check for $300, not a voucher, a check. Fact of the matter is air travel is broken. There are no spare seats, and schedules run too tightly. One things goes wrong and hundreds of people get dropped into a system that was designed when planes operated at 70% occupancy, not 95%. They just can't absorb rescheduling people.
wait a second. How did you copy/paste my post if you are on your iPhone?????

There's an app. for that.
Well, there should be, there's an app. for everything else.
I'm on my laptop. WiFi at SFO. My iPhone is plugged in and recharging.
ah, that makes sense. I was thinking you got a sneak preview at the OS 3, and I was going to be VERY jealous.
They just announced that the plane I'm supposed to be taking to LA was coming from LA and had to turn around and go back for some reason, so now it is a 2:17 PM flight pushed back to an 8:30 departure. If this actually happens it will get me to LA at about 9:30, and I have a 10:25 flight on a different airline that requires me to exit the terminal run down two terminals and re-clear security in order to board.
Drew, you need to document every step, and write a letter to the airline, & cc the FAA. This is extra ridiculous!
We're gonna need a chart for ND's journey when this is over.
And, of course, "twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one..."

Oh, Drew, I am sorry about the airline crap. I know how awful it can be. United gave me a check, too, when they screwed me over entirely when I was trying to get back to my wayward puppy.
And thank you for the birthday wishes, peeps! I've had a lovely 30 hours and am tahhhhrd now. Steve is asleep on the couch so our plans of seeing "Up" or "The Hangover" tonight might not turn out. Thass okay.
