Now Boarding..no, wait... NOT Boarding!

I resolved my mobile blogging trouble ticket and iPhone blogging begins. Well, it begins with yesterday's post and continues now from Terminal A of Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport because I have not a damn thing to do. I've exhausted Facebook, People.com, Hanging with Friends, Words with Friends, Scramble, oh, and did some work. "Mechanical" delays 20 minutes at a time have caused a 7:15 departure time for my original 3:40 flight back to DFW.

I suppose I sympathize with the AA agents who have customers using this excuse to lash out at them. When in reality, yes, they are inconvenienced, but their real life troubles have made them time bombs and this delay came at a convenient time to release that frustration. I doubt each of these passengers are consistently on time for all appointments or live a life without emergencies. Would you rather fly a potentially unsafe aircraft? I'm not sure where all this compassion is coming from because I'm not particularly thrilled abou arriving home so late. Must be because the guy working the gate was really trying his hardest to help within his means. And I'm really freaking tired.
