Worst trips I've ever had were the time I was flying into Louisville on Eastern
in a 727 and we got caught in a micro-burst on final approach and flying from
Philadephia to DC in a Twin Otter in a hurricane (David, '79).
The micro-burst was terrifying -- just as the pilot rotated (those 727s are
I recall days like that flying around FWA. I was working the ramp one afternoon
when a small plane landed, 3 people got out looking pale as ghosts and
trembling. They couldn’t speak. Finally after a minute or two the pilot got
himself communicative and said they had been dodging a thunderstorm a
Drive through AZ, Utah and NV two days ago. It was still 110F at 6pm when
we pitched camp, and 91 at 5am. Now I know why they call it the Valley of
Fire.

One jet bridge?! That's a huge airport compared to what was in Pullman,
Washington, when I flew in
See this is the problem. Hear might kill it but they are telling everyone to
stay at home. If you are sitting under the AC it keeps it alive. I heard
something the other day they are wanting people to turn off AC and wear masks
at home. Give me a break.

It took about 5 minutes to exit plane, get bags and baggage claim, and get in

If it has a jet bridge it's not too bad.

Maybe not. Maybe it would be twice as bad if it was cold out.

Dan,
It's not a rough flight unless you have black and blue bruises where the
seat belt and shoulder harness held you in, and the wing skins are
wrinkled... :0))
Otherwise, it's just "light turbulence"... right?

So, because it's too hot on the plane, they're keeping you on the plane,
on the ground where it's hot?

I might not make it out alive. The girl up front starts pushing a bunch of
buttons and the plane starts making a strange noise then alarms with red lights
start going off. Not sure what all that was about. Still waiting on bags to be
loaded. This is the sort of thing you deal with when flying sm
Now we are waiting for them to find somebody to load the bags. This is a small
regional carrier of American. The young girl pilot is fixing to go down there
and load them.

One you get to altitude you just use bleed air from the engines to keep the
cabin from freezing to death. If we would have just taken off we would have
been in the air by now and it would not have mattered. We have already been
sitting in the 100 degree Texas heat for over an hour.
