Thanks Grady! Had a fun day at the House of Mouse (I’ll post pics in the Rolexes at Disney thread later).

Lol thanks Paul; honestly maybe they saw my Vegas Golden Knights bag tags and being proper fans they were like “F&$@ this fair weather bandwagoner he ain’t going to Ducks territory”

Oh I’m with your there Airchitect, I just wish they would have communicated the problems better, and perhaps checked the second aircraft before we all boarded it. Would have been a lot less upset had we be in the terminal instead of in our seats for that whole mess.

The flight landed at Oakand on time and without incident, but my checked baggage didn't show up on the baggage claim carousel. Argghh!
I went to the Southwest baggage claim desk with my claim check, and was told my baggage had been loaded on the wrong plane in Albuquerque and was in Burbank! Argghh!!!
It was delivered by courier the next afternoon with sincere apologies for any inconvenience. Next year, I'll just fly my little two seater. It'll take a bit longer, but my baggage won't get lost.

Dang Stan I’m sorry to hear that! So cool that flying yourself is an option for you. That’s gotta be really freeing. Thank you for your service btw flying for our country!

A good 20 minutes later people begin to get off. When I got off, the maintenance guys had the door in pieces working on it off to the side of the jetway. That was a first for me and I’m pretty sure the 30 some people still on the plane going to the next destination didn’t do so on that plane.

That would be disconcerting for sure! My biggest issue when the whole thing started was that we flew the plane from Reno to Vegas first, then in Vegas they said that same plane wasn’t airworthy to go to Anaheim. My question is what broke on the way from Reno to Vegas, or did the Reno ground crew flat out miss a problem and we got lucky it held together til we landed in Vegas? I’ll never know obviously, but that was what scared me the most about the whole thing.
