Me boarding a 777 on Friday after a very long week of business travel, a true story:

Pilot: “Looks like we’ll get to San Jose 30 minutes ahead of schedule”

10 minutes later…

Pilot: “Just waiting for some paperwork before we can leave the terminal”

30 minutes later…

Pilot: “Sorry we can’t leave until the maintenance records are updated”.

30 minutes later…

Pilot: “We’re still waiting for sign-off”

5 minutes later…

Pilot: “By law, we have to allow passengers off the plane as it’s been over an hour at the terminal”

I de-board looking for any other flight, but it turns out there are no seats on any other plane in this airport…

Terminal attendant: “They have the paperwork now you can re-board if you wish”

What would you do?

Me: YOLO
