Trapped In Atlanta (Flight 2683)
The flight in question is #2683, Atlanta (H-Jackson Airport) to Houston Intercontinental, 11:05 to 12:15pm.
The plane--a sold-out flight--boarded on time, but the INSTANT they closed the door, the pilot announced that we were grounded due to bad weather in Houston. He followed that they needed our gate, so the plane wheeled out to some isolated part of the tarmac. We would get an update in an hour.
One hour later, the pilot just came on, saying that we would be here yet another hour. We will get further updates in 60 minutes.
My question is this: why didn't they just leave us in the airport, when they obviously knew beforehand that we'd be stuck? Waiting until the door clicked shut just adds insult to injury.
Will keep posting as events unfold.
(I am 6'6" tall, and this just adds to the misery. This plane is tiny.)
