That’s without a doubt the biggest lie in the airline industry. No they won’t hold the plane just for you, actually.

The one thing that has made My Coke Rewards valuable over the past couple of years is the ability to redeem for Priority Club points. I’ve probably earned around 20,000 Priority Club points just from entering Coke codes. As of today, the option…
Of my 10 mainline United flights so far this year, precisely TWO have had Channel 9 on. That’s a whopping 20%. That’s probably just my bad luck, but what I find really disturbing is what a purser told me on a flight over the weekend. The…

Maybe, in this instance, it’s a “one-time exception.”
It’s funny you say that, DiscoPapa, because I remember a recent evening delay out of SEA where we had a ground hold for about two hours, which reminds me of that. Everyone was worried about missing their redeye connections. Across the aisle from me was a 747 captain heading to SYD, and next to him was a passenger heading to PHL. The passenger heading to PHL was one of the most nervous passengers I’ve ever seen as far as missing his connection goes, while the captain was (obviously) not worried. Eventually the PHL passengers says “Aren’t you worried you’ll miss your flight, after all it’s a long one?” The captain, with an indescribable smirk on his face says “Nah, I have a feeling they’re not going far without me.”
OK, that was lame in writing, but the way he said it was classic.
