No intelligent person should have to do this.

Last week, while traveling from Dallas to Boston, I ended up in a prostitute-laden motel in suburban Philly. Thanks, US Airways.

Now, it's Air Canada's turn. It is 8:02 pm. I'm waiting to take a 3.5 hour flight from Toronto to Houston and then do more work in the morning, followed by more work, and then followed by additional work. The plane was supposed to leave at 7:20. We got on the plane at 7, but the pilots never did. So we got kicked off the plane. Our hand luggage was also kicked off the plane, and we got to carry it off. The plane is supposed to leave at 8:40. It is now 8:04. So, using standard rules, boarding should start again in 6 minutes, 12 minutes after we got off the plane.
