Flying the Sarcastic Skies

Some funny quotes from the pilot on flight UA830, (4.21.2008) to the best of my memory:

(before takeoff) "Well, folks, the baggage handlers said that they were done loading, but they're clearly not. If you're sitting in the back right-hand part of the plane, you probably have a better idea what's going on than I do."

(after departing about 30 minutes late and landing) "We were able to make up about 10 minutes in the air. Apparently no good deed goes unpunished as someone else has taken our gate."
