I spent 33 hours on a plane once. There is a reason why labor unions suck.
It was something along the lines of:
Fly to O'Hare International.
Fly to San Francisco International.
Fly to Ted Stevens International.
Fly
back to San Francisco International, due to clogged lavatory and Ted Stevens International being unequipped to resolve the issue.
Fly to Ted Stevens International.
Fly
back to San Francisco International, due to pilot's flight limit imposed by labor union. This was pilot #2.
Fly to Ted Stevens International.
Fly to Tokyo International.
Wait on plane for 3 hours to get new pilot, due to pilot #2's flight limit imposed by labor union. This is pilot #3.
Fly to Beijing Capital International.
For some reason, getting off of the plane while remaining in the terminal was forbidden, since it would apparently be a security breach. So we breathed the same air. I did not like airplanes for a year.
