I am in my seat at the gate of a United flight delayed for “technical reasons” from Singapore to San Francisco.

 

They just sent a dude out on the wing with some duct tape.

We should be good right? Duct take can fix anything I’m told.

It’s called speed tape, sharp as fuck, it should do a good job holding that wing on.

Twilight Zone: The Movie sequel looks lit as fuck.  Though the troll, monster thingy guy looks way different.  Must be CGI

Been on the plane 3 hours and haven’t moved an inch. It makes the upcoming 14 hour flight much more enjoyable. I remember why I fly Emirates usually and avoid United.

If it moves and it shouldn’t- duct tape. 
If it doesn’t move and it should- wd40. 
 

And the wing is by your window? You get to spend the next 14 hours looking at that tape job and seeing how it holds up! Shouldn't be nerve wracking at all....

The dude’s name?

Alternative is watching it for less than 14 hours...which is worse.

How was Singapore? Or are you dead?

First rule of Singapore Airplane Duct Tape Club is you don’t talk about Singapore Airplane Duct Tape Club!

Life advice: never fly United (or American).

100% of flights from and in USA have been delayed.

I had to stay last night in SFO.

As an interesting note, 0% of my flights outside of the USA where delayed on this trip. Even in Medellin, Colombia it was on time.

USA!

At least I get to drink a decent beer and watch football.

Thats not duct tape. Its aviation waterfowl tape. Which is duct tape, but cost 50x more.

Weren’t there weather issues in San Francisco?

The flight from AUS to SFO was delayed due to weather in cali. That caused me to miss my SFO to SIN connection. I had to stay overnight in SFO and catch the SIN flight in the morning.

The weather was fine today. The delay was because they were “cleaning” the plane. And then because they moved it to a new gate. And then because they needed to “clean” it again.

Because of the missed connection I lost my economy plus window seat and am now in a middle (so that is nice…). I’m 6’3”, 300, so middle seats are special.

Both dudes next to me are asleep and I need to pee like a racehorse. 570b0f934fbcc73b3e269ab7a60b37be.jpg
Only 5 more hours to go…

And for those on the guitar thread, it doesn’t look like they were able to get my guitar loaded on this plane (despite 15 hours of time). So I will have to deal with that.

I’m sure it is “lost” and in an SFO baggage guys collection. I should have put a tracker in the box.
