Ready Set. Sorta go

It’s started for sure. The Camino way. But in Chicago. The fellowship of plane travelers (350) bonded in our frustration over plans rerouted to the next day. A baggage cart hit the cargo door so they couldn’t get cabin pressure. Everybody got off the plane and into lines and more waiting. Do-ie overs today. A good night sleep fixes everything.

Top 5 list of when you know they don’t have their shit together
1. No human contact is made for an hour and a half by stewardesses
2. As you deboard the broke plane a cheerful young man says”Welcome to Chicago”
3. All employees flee to higher grounds (meeting on 3rd floor)
4. 3 hours since mass exodus of passengers and crew (but in opposite directions) still no guidance
5. You are local if your ticket has origin Chicago. No hotel voucher for you. 8 hour road trip doesn’t count.

Make that 6. PEOPLE come up with better wording! Like “sorry. Here’s a gesture of kindness and compassion “
