I checked in for a return flight from Pittsburgh to Phoenix and we were about 30 minutes late waiting for the flight crew that was stuck on a shuttle in traffic. We board and after 20 minutes are told there is a leak of some sort and the pilot spent the next 40 minutes trying to find out the status. I saw all the luggage being taken off the plane and not until that was completed did the pilot tell us we would have to exit the plane and wait 4 hours for another plane to arrive.

Everything in Pittsburgh shuts down around 8pm so good luck finding food.

The plane arrives, we get on and then are stuck on the runway because of something to do with the weight of the aircraft. The flight attendants do a head count and they we take off.

We land 5 hours late in Phoenix and get nothing but a bunch of appologies. Not even a meal in Pittsburgh even though I asked. Didn't even bother to let us know at which carousel we could retrieve our luggage. At least the luggage actually arrived.

89 people missed their connections.

Nice of an airline to take better care of the luggage than the passengers!

I'm just thankful that I don't have to fly that often anymore because these airlines all stink!
