I arrived in MEM around a little after twelve where I was bumped from three flights to DTW. The remaining flights to DTW. The remaining flights to DTW were over 100% with about 20 none revvers attempting to get on these flights. The last two flights from MSP to DTW were running at 60%, problem with that all flights to MSP were over 100% full. I did find a ferry flight to MSP that was of course 0% full. I talked to the pilot who made a call to dispatch and I was on board. After the diversion due to weather I finally made it to MSP a bit after midnight, after the flights had left for DTW of course. I watched a movie on my laptop then caught a hotel shuttle to to a hotel with a Denny's attached to it where I spent a few hours eating breakfast and reading. I then caught a shuttle back to the airport where I read some more until the World Business Lounge opened. Where I had more coffee and some tasty breakfast cakes. Then I hopped on the first plane out for DTW where I clocked in two hours and forty minutes late. That time change can be hell at times.
Today’s flight was much nicer. I departed at o'six-forty landed in MEM fifty minutes later, had a thirty-five minute layover then landed in DTW just after eleven. That is the way it is supposed to work.
Caught fifteen large-mouth yesterday, seven in the 15-19 slot limit and one over. Kept the pickles for filets. The boy had a blast.
That’s good. Speaking of heckling I received a coaching for being late yesterday, had one of those nightmare non-rev follies where it takes you twenty-two hours to reach your destination.
