So did they use the slides or just the back door?

Passengers and crew were evacuated from a Delta Airlines flight at Logan International Airport today after a problem occurred with the plane before takeoff.

Flight 2101 was bound for Atlanta, Ga. The 143 passengers and six crew members on board were uninjured. They deplaned without the use of any emergency equipment and were bused back to the terminal, Massachusetts Port Authority spokesman Matt Brelis said.

“All passengers are safe, the situation is currently being handled,” airport officials said in a tweet.

The plane remains on the airfield and Massport fire trucks have responded.

“The airline and authorities will investigate,” airport officials said in a tweet.

No further information about the nature of the problem was immediately available.

What do I see? 7000 lbs more often than not. 6-9k normal, more if you tankered or had reserve fuel you didn't use.

The benefit is it also works on your ipad/phone/laptop when on the road. Plus all the games are recorded to watch whenever you want.
Unfortunately, most of the hotels internet is too slow to stream. I have a family member with a slingbox. I use this to watch my team at home. It does not help me on the road though. A lot of the games are on NHL network or NBC Sports Network.

Does anyone else notice the -88 over burning and over flying estimated flying times? Where I come from that's mighty taboo.
