Headed to NYC this morning. For as long as I’ve been flying, and as the baby of the family peeking her head out on the end there, it’s been a long time! I’ve never heard this one until now…the airplane is here in the hanger, but they “can’t get it started.” Not a missing part, or missing crew, just can’t get it to start. I feel like I’m back in high school with my little VW 🐰. If it was cold, I was going to be late to work because she like me, did not like the cold. Come on Delta! You got this! Let’s go! 🙌🏼✈️ Update in the voice of Morgan Freeman: “But Delta did not, in fact, have this. Delta would go on to start with a 75 minute delay… The Guggenheim and a Broadway show still in her reach, our heroine of our story sipped her coffee and kept a mindset of hopeful curiosity about her day.”
