“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

This time Delta can’t lose my checked bag: I didn’t check a bag.
Just a helpful hint that might help people avoid their luggage being left behind and save money on checked luggage fees. In Canada it is now the custom for airlines to charge people to check luggage. As such, people now take liberties with their carry-on luggage size (I try not to think about how such liberties will affect weight distribution on the plane causing it to crash), which takes up abnormal amounts of space on the plane. What I discovered is if you speak to the people at the gate about carry-on size concerns and comfort of other passengers they will tag it and personally see to it that it is placed inside the plane with the other luggage…for free. Obviously this won’t work for full sized luggage, but works great for those smaller suitcases that seem to get larger.
Ferengi kpets!
DAL (delta) probably oversold because:
A-they missed their original connection
B-crew had to be accommodated to operate(if pilot) or work (attendant) a flight
C-some other reason
As far as the MX (maintenance) delay, at least they didn’t have to wait for a part…and those events are more complicated than an oil change ;)
Venus the Queen, a friend remarked, with the moon at her feet. (We were among approximately 100 others up quite early for a sunrise Eucharistic Procession, Rosary, and Benediction to mark the fourth apparition of Our Lady of Fatima. What a beautiful day.)
DAL (delta) probably oversold because:
Not necessarily. Air Canada regularly overbooks their flights because “almost always passengers miss their flight or decide at the last minute not to fly, and this way they don’t have empty seats”.
APX – I volunteered the first 2 times I heard the announcement at the gate about needing to check some baggage for free. Each time my bag was the very last to come off. I don’t volunteer any more – and I notice Air Canada makes that announcement every time, and it is usually not needed.
Regarding malfunctions, I was flying out of Winnipeg one winter when the plane was cancelled. The vent had frozen. They had forgotten to plug in the plane overnight, something everyone in Winnipeg with a car knows to do.
Fr. Z, I was really, really hoping you’d be the deacon in a solemn pontifical Mass celebrated by Archbishop Alexander Sample of Portland, Oregon on eclipse day.
Heading to Benedictine College in Atchison by any chance? I wish I was (it’s my home town, and my Alma Mater).

The last flight before the Apocalypse will be overbooked, and they will charge extra for your luggage.
