[buffalo1]

I was on a flight from Buffalo to Honolulu yesterday morning leaving at 6.21 am.
Got to the airport at 5.30 and was told that my flight was delayed until 9.21 but I would make my connection. I bought 3 first class seats worth $7,500. The pilots who were in Buffalo arrived to the plane at 9.15 for a 9.21 take off. Mind you all of the passengers and the flight attendants had been on the plane for at least ten minutes before the pilots arrived joking about their hotel stay. Needless to say we didn't take off until 9.50 am and I missed my connection in Chicago. The plane was at the gate but they refused to wait for me. I ended up cancelling the trip since they could not get me out for at least two days. I was refunded the remainder of my ticket however my wife and son missed a planned vacation because two pilots were too lazy to get out of bed and arrive on time for their flights.
I think we should file a class action suit against the airlines especially United for their callous treatment of fliers.
