Better Late Than Never, Better Safe Than Sorry

So my flight home to Ohio on Saturday was delayed for several hours due to "mechanical problems." It's mildly disconcerting when you can see them pop the hood on the jet you're about to climb 30,000 feet in. Fortunately, no one wants to be the person responsible for the end of several dozen people's lives, so there is some measure of confidence that the job is going to be done right. It was just a little frustrating when your flight departs an hour after it was supposed to have arrived. Yeah, it was kind of like this.
