Don't You Have Reserves?

Flight 138, Anchorage-Chicago, April 9th. Everyone all boarded and ready to go. However, no Captain, flight cancelled 30 minutes after scheduled block out. What's up?

Time to spare..... go by air.

Loaded up on Thursday night to ride down to SFO when low and behold King Obama is in SFO shaking down the rich democrats for more donations. Impact: 3.5 hour ground hold, and since we were on the last flight out for the night, no other options. UAL suffered as the most of the pax who didn't rebook for another day missed their flight connections in SFO.

Sounds like you were staffed by our scheduling department.

Yeah, its not like ANY GOP President ever caused an airport closure/delay. GMAFB. Its what happens when EVERY President goes somewhere. Thank the Secret Service, not the individual in office.

This is true. However, didn't Clinton close down LAX while he got a haircut or was that a urban legend.

Actually no. The ones who care use one of the plethora of military bases in the area that we taxpayers already pay for and man.
IE Travis is right up the road.
But of course if you see yourself as more of a king instead of president then you don't really give a shietz about those poor commoners.

At a minimum Why didn't he park his jet at google's airport, I mean moffett field?

The press used to complain about w going to his ranch. That was nothing compared to what the taxpayers have shelled out for the Obamas family vacations over the last 7 years! Africa, Asia, South America etc. but hey someone has to go apologize for America being America right!
