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.
Glad you survived the reaper on your ride as well, then.
That is unreal how long you guys were held at the gate... we left CVG at 0900 and had to hold for a few minutes. Only the last half of the flight were we pulled back to .75 and then zig zagged from nevada on in. Amazing how things backed up even more as the day progressed. I thought that airport had better capacity than that.
