  • my *****ing and moaning thread

    I had an interview (actually a series of interviews) with Palm today. Those went great. What I need to complain about is the flight.

    I was supposed to flight out of Pittsburgh through Denver to San Jose at 8AM EST Monday. I had a 2.5-hour layover in Denver, which is sweet because Denver is a kickass airport. I was going to get into San Jose at 2PM Pacific, go to my hotel, then go hang out with friends at Stanford for the afternoon.

    Instead, the flight was overbooked and something happened to the plane, so they had to use a smaller one and I got booted off the flight. My new flight left at noon, had a 2.5-hour layover in O'Hare. Eh, whatever.

    Then my flight out of Chicago is delayed 2 hours. I finally check into my hotel at 9PM Pacific and spend about an hour and a half at Stanford. Alright. Monday was lame but I still got to see my friends.

    Except I forgot how ****ty the next day was going to be. My interview ends at 1PM, I take a cab and get to the airport an hour later. Guess when my flight leaves? TEN PM. And it's through Dulles. I don't leave DC until 8:40AM EST tomorrow. Optimistically I'll leave the Pittsburgh airport at 10AM. Six hours later I get to make up the real analysis exam I missed Monday.

    You don't travel too much, do you? This is pretty typical stuff.

    Sounds like you'll have plenty of time to study at least...

          I don't fly transcontinental too often. I've done plenty of shorter flying.

            I would have commented on your facebook status but then thought that it would give me something to spam about when you posed a complaint thread
            You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

              Short flights are pretty cool IMO. Because you can appreciate the time you save versus train/car/bus/etc. Usually on time, it's just comfortable.

              But these things.. it's more like a rule than not. And not just that, but sitting on a plane too long really isn't my cup of tea, or hanging out on the airports. Short flights are cool though, I'm taking one this weekend. Everything over 3 hours on a plane is a pain in the ass for me.

                Also, that isn't so bad, but why didn't you get any compensation for getting kicked off the flight?

                  If you end up rerouted through Oregon give a call.

                    I did. However, using that compensation means I have to book a flight on United

                        I had no idea what to do there. Also cabs are expensive.
