Delta: SoRrY fOr ThE uNcOmFoRtAbLe TeMpErAtUrEs
Flying right now seems like an absolute shit show. Sure you may get to your destination but not always on time.
Lol the last time I flew was a shit show. Here’s a recap.
As the flight attendant is giving us the safety instructions and about to lock the door, a lady opens the airplane door even though the path should have been closed down. The attendant was pissed since they all had to restart the pre flight stuff from the beginning.
When they finished it all a second time we got told that a part of the plane was broken and they were working on it. An hour later they said they were opening the door and letting us walk around the airport to get food or go to the bathroom for the next 25 minutes.
When they all came back the the attendance started the pre-flight stuff again. When he finish everything a person came up and said hey I’m on the wrong flight and the flight attendant just looked so shocked and confused since he had never had that happen before. They let the guy off as the attendant looked like he was about to give up.
The attendant had to restart the pre-flight stuff AGAIN. Luckily the plane was working now after two hours waiting on the runway and the flight began.
My facebook “memories” over the last month have been filled with images of me and my family stranded at various airports due to flight delays and cancellations. Flying in the summer is fraught with complications, and has been for as long as I’ve lived.
I wonder if it ever crossed that Fox producers mind in those moments, that this was also her fault with helping run a network with the mission of denying and increasing climate change
I can confidently say they don’t care.
Don’t planes have air conditioning?
@Cold_Brew_Enema when the turbine are on, yes.
But if they aren’t, the plane is only working on a battery and then, which is likely the case when the plane is just sitting idle on the tarmac. Then nope.
You just get to enjoy the airflow from a tiny fan while sitting in a metal can under the sun close to hundred of other peopleIf it’s at the gate it should be getting ground based aircondition. If it’s sitting away from the gate with the engines off the APU should be on and providing aircondition and electrical power especially since you’ll be starting the engines at some point and the APU is going to be needed for that anyway.
I don’t understand what the issue was.
Edit: and if for some reason none of this was a available, declare an emergency before it gets to this point and either get a bus and air stairs to come get everyone or drive the plane to the nearest gate.
I had a three hour delay at the gate a few weeks ago and didn’t have air conditioning either. It was pretty close to this situation but it was luckily only 93 and not in the 100’s.
Thanks for clarification. I haven’t flown in 15 years or so.

Comrad! Your title might not match the title of the article you linked! Could you please double check, and edit your post title if it indeed does not match? article title: “Passengers pass out as Vegas flight stranded in 111 degree heat on tarmac” (Similairity: ~71%).

The bot has the be manually run for the time being as I’m still testing it, so it’ll get fixed
