delta airline adventure

so I go on Tuesday am for a 6:50 am flight out of GNV...get up at 5 am. I am not checking luggage which is cool. I arrive and they say that the flight will be leaving late because the plane came in late the night before. So the guy at the counter books me on three more flights to Chicago later in the day because he's sure I can't make a connection.

the plane is loaded and we are ready for takeoff. then a guy gets on the plane and says "I need 5 people to get off the plane...the plane is too heavy." then he says "we're not going anywhere until this happens." so realizing that I am sitting around anyway, I get off the plane.

then they realize that they can't get me out of GNV after all and put me in a taxi to Orlando. I fly first class to Atlanta and then on to Chicago. While in Atlanta, one of the guys who also got off the plane in GNV (UF professor) is standing right in front of me and invites me in to the Delta Crown Room with him. It was very swanky and quiet, which is the whole point. Finally I get off the plane in Chicago, and run into another UF professor I know.

Bottom line is...I got $200 Delta dollars and flew first class on two planes!
