OK, so yesterday I get on this shitty little garbage-pail airliner called Midway Air, that I have never heard of before I purchased the tickets for this particular flight. I wasn't too thrilled about traveling on an airline that I have never heard of before & had an overall bad feeling about the flight itself. After the plane took off(from Pittsburgh), you could just tell that something was wrong. Next thing that happens is that it feels like someone jammed a screwdriver into both of my ears because the pressure in the cabin dropped immediately & those masks came plopping down in front of everyones face! Then the stewardess comes over the mike & says that we are going to have to return to Pittsburgh because of a mechanical problem(no shit lady) & to make sure that your seatbelts are securely fastened!! Well obviously by now Im shitting my pants because it is clear that we are gonna be making an emergency landing! We do, without any real problems & then we find out that the reason that all this shit happened was that the stwardess, or whoever is in charge of latchinbg the main door, didn't latch it properly!!!! I mean give me a break! How hard could that be? After they let everyone off of the plane, they said that a mechanic would have to check on the problem & that it would be a couple of minutes until we could board again. BOARD AGAIN???!!!! Dudes there was no way in hell that my ass was going to be getting on that flight again! The thing that blew my mind was that there were people that didn't even get off the plane after this happened! They just waited around for the mechanic & were perfectly willing to go back up in that pile of shit aircraft again! Well the flight was eventually cancelled which leads me to believe that there was alot more wrong with the aircraft than a freaking latch not being closed properly! Well Im not gonna get to see my son this new years which blows, but Im still alive! Which is good     | ||

Good to hear you made it bro.. And do you know why they give you O2 when there is a problem on the plane. Straight O2 will make you very high when you are sucking that shit in... Crashing kinda fades away...... ------------------ It's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6! T. Shakur A coward dies a thousand deaths, a solider dies but one.. RAGE, Rage against the dieing of the light!  | ||

And that's exactly why I'm DRIVING to Florida in a week instead of flying. No chance in hell of getting me in an airplane. | ||

Was in a helicopter that had to "ditch" in Maui. Something was wrong with the rotor trim, and all of a sudden we started flying sideways but in a straight line. The pilot looked like he was gonna shit his | ||

As docile as Hindu Cows. Roiddog, glad to see you are okay. I've been through a few turn arounds due to "mechanical difficulties". WTF is a mechanical difficulty anyway? ------------------ | ||

Man that sound exciting. Glad nothing happened. In 92 I was flying out of Dallas to NY and about 2 hours into the flight we ran into a great deal of turbulance. It was kind of fun after we put our seat belts on. I guess they did not plan for it, but we dropped several feet(I really have no idea how far). I came out of my chair and my head hit the overhead package area above me(I was in the window seat). Another lifter out of Houston was sitting beside me and he was a light weight, I'm guessing 148lbs class or 165, anyway he hit the roof of the plane and hurt his back coming back down and was unable to lift in the Meet. He sued AA, but I am not sure what the results were. |
