Nope just call me that... Well once I get past the 1hr delay I can squeeze myself into a seat that's too small and has zero legroom

Hotlanta for more LR training.

Just found out we're facing another hour delay. Was originally a 3:20 departure, now its a 5:22. They got everyone on the plane and seated and announced we had yet another delay
