Planes And Technical Issues

ordinarily I’d would mind delays when on a long haul flight. But when they are for technical reasons it does make you wonder. Seems a very vague term “technical”, the kind of term you would use to shut people up or when you haven’t got a clue what the problem is yourself.

This is compounded when directly after the pilot shared “15 minutes delay due to technical..” he said please “smile”. Smile, indeed, I really have no other choice do I! I’m strapped in, I don’t want to get off and the person next to me won’t want to see me cry. Worse than all this everyone is still as calm as can be.

Think I will put some flaming lips on and hope that this plane gets better soon. I’ll be happy when I reach Korea after that announcement that’s for sure.

Some top films I just noticed. How exciting…. It has now been more than 15 minutes :(
