Flight delays


Ah, yes. the joys of an airport served by commuter airlines. Over 20 years flying out of Modesto, and now out of Cedar Rapids...

Rob came in this evening to visit for a few days. The day was sunny and EVERY flight from Chicago to Cedar Rapids was on time today -- except for the last one, the one that he was on. As CID goes it wasn't too bad, but it was about a half hour late. So he had a classical tradeoff: he took a bump from a flight that was on time and came in on the late flight, but he got a free ticket for his trouble. I think he found the tradeoff worthwhile, and we're glad he's here, even late.
