It started out as pretty full flight but we had a mechanical delay - so the gate agent started to aggressively re-book the passengers. Well the 2 hour delay turned into a 3 and then a 4 hour delay etc and eventually all the passengers were rebooked or gave up.

Well we finally got the aircraft fixed and there was only 1 guy at the gate and he was leaving. I asked him if was trying to get to SLC and he said yes, but the flight was cancelled. I told him we were leaving in 15 minutes and that he could come.

It was pretty funny - we made all of our PAs to him directly. "Flight attendants please prepare Dave for departure," or "Dave we are about to start our descent into the SLC area please take your seat." He had a blast - I think the FAs even took video of him in his personal MD-90 during the flight.
