Ontario International Airport
"They said what?!?" Yes, it's true, yet another delay. After
leaving and returning to the airport hours later for the noon flight,
there was another delay. Then, finally, they boarded the plane for
Houston. Yeah! Wait, why isn't the plane pulling back? A dead battery, yes
somewhere in this second airplane of the day (a MD-80) there was a dead
battery they were trying to charge before take-off. Later we learned that
it wouldn't take the charge and a battery was being borrowed from Alaska
Airlines. Who knows what all was really going on. Anyway, after
another 30 minutes they took everyone off the plane pending the repair.
Hours later parts arrived from LAX and were installed to everyone's
satisfaction. At 6 o'clock the girls boarded for the third time headed for
Texas. Alas they were really going to Houston.
