Even for a road veteran like me, this one was unique. I still cannot understand how he got inside the plane after he managed to catch up to it in the tarmac. That was a big plane. They do not have steps. And in any case, the captain could not have given permission to open the doors. You would think the cops would meet him promptly at the tarmac under the plane and the whole airport would have been in shutdown mode.

Incredible!

Early morning landed up in Atlanta airport not knowing what is in store for me. Delta seems to be limping back to normal. Still a lot of canceled flights. And dislocation of crew. In fact we are waiting for one air more hostess to show up so we can start boarding.

That said, as I walked into the airport, out of curiosity, I checked the departure boards to get a feel for how many flights have been canceled. I was shocked to see that in the very first board, pretty much all flights had been canceled. But I was even more shocked to realize that most of them were headed to Atlanta!! Lest you forgot, I am in Atlanta airport!! And I am looking at the departure board!!!

I had to do some digging to understand what was the bug in the system.
