Taking One For the Team

Before I start this story, I want to make it clear that I am not the same caliber wordsmith as Jack.

Being the true team player that I am, I took a travel bullet for the team last night.  My travel home from a week long trip started out normal and ended in an airline nightmare.  My connecting flight in Memphis took off, albeit late due to weather, and was halfway into its journey to Milwaukee when the pilot announced the windshield wiper broke and we needed to return to Memphis.

Upon landing in Memphis all the passengers were asked to deplane and wait for further instructions, and we all knew what was coming, this flight was cancelled.  At this point I made my way to baggage claim to get my bag only to find out that Delta routed my luggage on a different flight and I was told by a "very savy" customer service rep that my bag was already in Milwaukee.

So now it was approaching 10PM, and I headed to the hotel, no luggage, no dinner, and no flight until 8:40 Friday morning. 

This advernture, along with some other recent delays, should allow for clear sailing on March 24th.

No thanks needed, just send $$$.

Happy Friday,

Mike
