ntrprnr 0 #1 March 22, 2007 Sitting in Norita Airport, Tokyo, delayed. Why? Because there were mechanical issues with CO Flight Six, going from Norita to Houston. But Peter! You don't live in Houston! What does the Houston flight 6 have to do with your flight 8? Easy: Houston is a bigger hub for Continental than Newark. So the powers that be in Norita simply decided (per standard operating procedure, I'm sure,) to give the Houston passengers our plane, and make the Newark passengers sit on their asses until they can (hopefully) fix the Houston (now Newark) plane. So at 4:54pm Tokyo time (3:54am New York time) I sit here, knowing that even if we DO get out of here, I've still got 13 hours of flying ahead of me. Oh, happy day. I should add that there are several cool people I personally know who live in Houston. so obviously, I'm more pissed at Continental than at Houston as an entity. But that won't stop me from bitching about it. :)_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Rebecca 0 #5 March 22, 2007 Can someone translate "Wahmbulance" into Japanese for Peter? He might need to call one. Alternately, does anyone have any recommendations for the best cheese to go with this type of whine? you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
