I flew on Wednesday. First flight was fine, but my connection got canceled. * no alternate destinations available Wednesday * no rebook for Thursday * rebook available with endless connections on Friday (15 hrs instead of 3 hrs, those would have been canceled) * rebook available on Saturday (3 days later!!) I took Saturday and it was peachy. My schedule was flexible. This is at a hub airport after a connecting flight. I can't just get back in my car and try again later. The airport is weird. They cannot hire enough Somalis to staff all the services so restaurants close early, open late, or just do not open. The major airlines are ravaging the regional partners for pilots taking 5% of pilots in a month in the case of this flight operator. Airlines even have a good cover story. "We can't find the documentation that some work was done..." See how good that is? They do the maintenance and repair, you are safe, it is just the damn paperwork that is at issue. *My ass.* Fortunately, my expectations are now this low. In fact, they are even lower. I expect a delayed flight followed by emergency landing at the nearest city with a hospital when a crew member gets chest pain requiring a further day for emergency crew replenishment to a small market town. That is where my air travel expectations are today.
