Ground control! We need backup!

Boarding & Departure

11am.

After two more announcements, a frazzled ground crew, and a two hour delay, we're finally ready to board - just as the complimentary sandwiches and chips arrive to quieten the ravenous hoardes who promptly go about doing what ravenous hoardes are known (and, let's be honest, expected) to do.  If they didn't, what would we call them?  As boarding commences, nary but empty chip packets and crumpled sandwich wrappers are to be found.  And some of them look gnawed.  You try putting 300 people in a room together, make them wait two hours and then throw free food at them and see what happens.  Not a pretty sight.
