This reminded me of a something.

A couple years ago with my previous employer, we fly into LGA the day after all flights were cancelled for snow. Every flight the next day is full to the gills. As we sit up front figuring out how many bags we can carry to JAX, the capt decides to make a PA telling them about the Delay.

"Good morning ladies and Gentlemen...Bla..Bla..Bla, we are currently trying to find out just how many bags we can take to Jacksonville....Bla Bla Bla..We'll be on our way as soon as we can."

I looked at him and said "That may not have been the best thing to say."
Almost Instantaneously you could hear almost every FA chime in the back go off.

FA comes up and says "What did you just say? Every one back there is worried about their bag. Almost all of them are going on Cruises."

Capt gets back on the PA and tries to backpedal unsuccessfully. We taxi out with quite a few bags out on the Snow covered Ramp. Gotta love the RJ.
