Walking closer to the screen, I saw the specific message was:
It's not so much that I was surprised that they have computer problems. (I know all too well that the only way to ensure a computer will have no problems is to not turn it on.) However, there was that part of me that thought: Isn't there someone whose job it is to keep an eye on their computers?
I mean, sure, my plane landed successfully, and I would soon be retrieving my suitcase and going home, so I wasn't particularly concerned. I went on with retrieving my suitcase and heading home without giving it another thought.
I presume by now someone has noticed it, even if only because someone bound for Guadalajara mentioned it to someone who could mention it to the appropriate party. I hope so.

Cheap joke: Of course, given that they may have had to call in tech support, they may still be waiting to hear back.

So you took photographs of that screen and no one hassled you? Where was airport security? After all, you could have been a terrorist! Maybe some of the post 9/11 paranoia died down. Then again, they still enforce no more than 3 fluid ounces rule and take off your shoes, right?
ReplyDeleteI've never been on a commercial airflight. And it looks like I never will, even if I can ever afford it.

Ray,
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect to the fine security personnel working at our airports, I think you overestimate how much they're paying attention after one gets off a plane; they tend to be more focused on those getting on a plane.
Which is, yes, when they make you remove shoes. And take your little liquids out of your carry-on...
