| RAOF | smspillaz: Yes. I'm *at* UDS now. My Sydney->Dallas flight left about 3 hours before the shutdown was announced. | 14:57 |
|---|---|---|
| smspillaz | RAOF: haha, nice, yeah, mine left 3 hours before the shutdown was announced to | 15:34 |
| smspillaz | BUT I'm stuck in brisbane | 15:34 |
| smspillaz | for at least 2 more days | 15:34 |
| RAOF | :( | 15:34 |
| smspillaz | (qantas is paying for my hotel and everything) | 15:35 |
| smspillaz | virgin is all booked up | 15:35 |
| Wellark | smspillaz: damn :( | 15:35 |
| smspillaz | meh | 15:35 |
| smspillaz | they put us all up in 5 stay hotels with a 100AUD per-diem | 15:35 |
| smspillaz | can't complain | 15:35 |
| smspillaz | *star | 15:35 |
| smspillaz | except that dinner was 70AUD (!) | 15:36 |
| RAOF | !!! | 15:36 |
| smspillaz | never going to the hotel restaurant again | 15:36 |
| smspillaz | Sofitel restaurant in brisbane: AVOID | 15:36 |
| smspillaz | the announcement was more or less hilarious | 15:38 |
| smspillaz | we touched down and | 15:38 |
| smspillaz | "so uh, for those who are travelling to sydney uh, we don't have clearance to take off" | 15:38 |
| smspillaz | "qantas isn't giving the control tower the necessary paperwork" | 15:38 |
| smspillaz | "....or the necessary paperwork to anyone else" | 15:38 |
| smspillaz | 5 minutes later | 15:39 |
| smspillaz | "so apparantly we're not allowed to work. sorry for the inconvenience I guess" | 15:39 |
| Pendulum | smspillaz: that's honesty for you | 15:40 |
| smspillaz | nobody had any idea of what was going on | 15:40 |
| Pendulum | (you have my sympathy I got snowed in at an airport last night) | 15:40 |
| smspillaz | ouch | 15:40 |
| smspillaz | yeah this lock out pretty much hit everyone by suprise | 15:40 |
| smspillaz | I feel really bad for the LAX people though, the lockout happend *when they were on the tarmac* and they *weren't allowed to take off* | 15:41 |
| smspillaz | but they couldn't go back to the gate either | 15:41 |
| smspillaz | so they were stuck on the plane grounded for at least 4 hours | 15:41 |
| smspillaz | at least the lockout happened more or less after we took off | 15:41 |
| Pendulum | ugh | 15:42 |
