All seemed normal: my flight to Denver made it on time. My flight to OKC was on time according to the board. Then an announcement that our flight was going to contain passengers destined for Tulsa AND we were actually going to stop in Tulsa! My 1-stop trip to OKC now turned to a 2-stop trip. Grrr. The worst of it, the new stop put me in jeopardy of getting to the rental car agency before they closed at midnight. (I made it by a few seconds, btw. The lady was locking the door and was kind enough to reopen up for me.) The United crew mentioned several times how unique this was, but I have my suspicions. United says there was a “crew problem”. When we got to Tulsa, half of the passengers got off. In my estimate, United combined two planes that were 1\/3 full by themselves. Maybe we were indeed the rescuers of the Tulsa passengers and I should be happy about helping others. Regardless of how I feel, I didn’t have a choice. That really chaps my hide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
