Away we go...

Here is an actual conversation I had yesterday with a passenger off of a flight that diverted to Monroe on its way to Baton Rouge from Dallas.

Angry Passenger: I'm going to miss all my business in Baton Rouge because of your airline.
Tobin: I'm sorry ma'am.
AP: When Obama takes office all this nonsense is going to change.
Tobin: How? Is he going to change weather patterns in the country?
AP: Huh?
Tobin: Ma'am your flight diverted here because it could not land in Baton Rouge because of weather, I'm sure the captain made an announcement before he brought the plane here. I know we have made plenty of announcements since we unloaded y'all that we were waiting for the weather to clear to get you back on your way.
AP: I'm just saying...
Tobin: saying what?
AP: Can I get my ticket?
Tobin: Here.

This is what I deal with on a daily basis.

I'm hoping to really try and keep this blog going, but if you want to read a couple of real good ones try these two out: Will Maranto's World and The Remarkable Pollution Machine

Until next time.
Tobin

You also need to relate your Roberta Flack story, so it can live in eternity on the internet!
