#1 Standing in the way of people going about their business or commerce is a bad attitude toward those paying your chit if it happens too often.

#2 Though the airline blamed technical issues, and later suspended two employees for "unnecessary delay", passengers were given reason to believe that the aircraft was awaiting the arrival of some VIPs.

Sort of like halting air traffic at LAX while a VIP's plane sat on the ground awaiting a ~~hairdresser~~ barber? For about an hour in May 1993, two of LAX's four runways were shut down. The reason for the closure was the presence of Air Force One, inside of which the President was in the throes of a $200 trim from a glamorati stylist named, fabulously, Christophe.

#3 LAX wasnt the only time he did that. I was on a puddle jumper from Peoria to St. Louis and we had to do a "go-around" because Air Farce One was in the way. That was in 90 or 91.

#4 Not certain what would have been worse Rob, leaving Peoria, or arriving in St. Louis.
