We were getting all sorts of S-turns into SFO even yesterday morning. That marine layer was really messing them up.
Yep, same dude. He told us his pickup was at 4:40.

And SFO is so screwed up that they can't handle 1700' overcast. We were held at the gate in MSP for 2:30 after our scheduled departure and then drew corkscrews in the sky from SLC to SFO at .74 all the way in. For a major population center, there needs to be better facilities.
