Returned to SEA from PHL on Alaska. Here's what took place: - "Short Delay" while they cleaned the plane.
- Boarded later than scheduled. Lining: I did make eye contact with a man in first class. I told him he broke the custom of FC folks never making eye contact. Then a woman looked up and make eye contact.
- AC not really working. The plane was full. Lots of chatty, noisy, or crying children.
- We backed away and sat on the tarmac. Pilot announced we had "weather" along our primary flight path and might be rerouted to an more southern path. Oh, the plane didn't have enough fuel for the southern path.
- Sent back to gate. We all had to get off the plane. With our stuff.
- After about 20 minutes, we got back on the same plane. With out stuff.
- The AC seemed to be working. The pilot announced he was negotiating to get back on the northern route and that we were #12 in line.
- 2.5 hours after we were supposed to be airborne, we left PHL.
- Six hours later we landed. Deep into the night. The light rail just took us to Beacon Hill (about 2.5 miles from home). After using our data plan we discovered that stop just before seemed like it had a bus that would take us to within 3/4 miles of home. This worked out.
- No sooner home, than condo building questions began to pile on.
Welcome home, indeed.
