dr4b | Stupid United continues to be annoying -- or maybe it's SF (Reply)

Flight delayed yet AGAIN this morning -- a 9:45 flight was first said to be 10:05, then moved to 11:15 because of a cloud cover in San Francisco that wouldn't allow us to take off because they weren't sure we could land. We ended up being in flight for a long long time and they even announced at one point, "We're circling over the bay area now in a holding pattern -- we may land in San Jose because we need to refuel..." and then all of a sudden we were allowed to land in SFO after all. At like 2pm. My original flight had me here at 11:30. I didn't get to work until a little after 3pm. It's not the flying commute that bugs me, it's the amount of extra wasted time due to airlines. Sigh.
