Just a LITTLE leak
Well, I am posting from the fair city of San Francisco, enjoying the surroundings generously provided by J2E. Of course, it's 2:30a PT. Beautiful, eh?
Of course, I would have been here two hours ago except that my plane in Chicago had this annoying little problem -- a slight leak in the oxygen system. We sat at the gate for over an hour while they tried to fix it, only to be told that we were going to have to deplane and move to a plane that they had pulled up to the next gate. fn1.
Of course, the process of moving everyone en masse from one fully-loaded A320 to another takes awhile. We really would have been better off moving planes as soon as they discovered the problem rather than wasting an hour trying to fix it and then having to move.
Other than the little delay, everything was fine. Shockingly, I made it through LGA without getting hassled about my ID. Overall, United is ok, but their planes are a little cramped. The first five rows of coach are called "Economy Plus," which I think means more legroom, for which you pay more. However, it means that everyone else has less leg room. Thrilling, eh?
Ok, I need to stretch out and then it's off to bed for me.
1. In that respect, I guess we're very lucky we were in Chicago, one of United's main hubs. I'm sure there were a lot more spare planes sitting around there then if the same problem had happened at La Guardia.
