Ah, Yes…Another Satisfied Customer
We were headed east one winter night to Boston. The ride was smooth and no problems onboard at all. As we got closer to our destination, the weather at Boston had gone below our landing minimums and so we diverted to our alternate which was Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. We told our passengers about the weather in Boston and why we were diverting to Bradley International. It was snowing so hard at Bradley that we were lucky to land. We got parked at the gate and no one was upset at all, EXCEPT one passenger. Yes, there is ALWAYS that ONE person!!! Pardon my laughter.
Well, ALL of the other passengers were gone, but this guy decided to take his sweet time gathering up all of his belongings. Our crew of five were waiting on his Majesty to deplane. The flight attendants were seated in First Class waiting, the Captain was standing at the entrance to the cockpit and I was standing in the galley watching him come down the aisle with his luggage in tow. He walked past all of us slowly without saying a word and exited the plane. He got about 6-feet out on the jetway, turned around and proceeded to use his OTHER vocabulary called profanity. Pardon my laughter!!!
The flight attendants were trying not to laugh as he turned around and started up the jetway. Well, yours truly just HAD to have the last word and so I said to him, “Sir, I don’t see why you are so upset because we lived up to our name!! We got you Midway!!!” The flight attendants said, “Oh, Bill!!” and then they busted out laughing! The guy turned around in disgust and shrugged his shoulders and walked off! Ah yes, another satisfied passenger!
