Clearing security four times, as I wrote in an earlier post, when, in fact, I only entered one airport from the outside was quite enough to test any traveler. But today on Delta, there were also two mechanical issues. The first, from Amsterdam’s Schipol, caused only a delay. The second, from Atlanta, caused a delay and then a disembark after we were comfortably seated, and then another delay. I still don’t know what the outcome will be. It’s possible that we’ll be delayed again. As is often the case from Atlanta, I will arrive home hours late, today, at least three hours beyond what was scheduled. And I pay good money for this!
I realize that the airlines must put safety first, and I applaud them for that, but with so many delays and so many people on delayed incoming flights running through Atlanta’s airport to try to catch connections only to find that the connections too are delayed – well, clearly, something is wrong with the system – you might say one big mechanical issue in need of repair.
