So just, just vague.
He just said ground stop.
That's it.
They happen all the time.
So we don't know.
So don't get nationwide.
Doesn't happen.
I haven't heard yet.
Don't get worried yet.
That's your two hour update.
Expect a two hour update.
So everything's probably fine.
Okay.
Thank you.
This gentleman was about to depart to San Jose.
To San Jose.
What happened?
They were backed up and then they pulled us back into the gate
and said there's a nationwide
grounding.
F-A-A-D-A-R
I was having an outage, but you'd think there'd be a redundancy,
but they said it'd be at
least a couple hours.
So no more information than that?
No.
The Delta app, which I have about a million miles,
they're saying that the flight's just
delayed to 125, which is obviously past that.
You think, yeah, you think they're just kind
of just lip-servicing for now?
I think so.
That's pretty big.
A nationwide FAA.
Yeah, every plane's grounded.
Something's up.
I think something's up. I don't know.
Did you see a bunch of people angry up there,
like coming off the plane?
Not really. I just got off. I just came out.
You're like, I'm out of here.
Yeah, I don't know.
They should have a lot of redundancy
at scale with how many planes and flies.
Yeah.
I have no idea.
Thank you. What's your name?
My name's Duncan.
Duncan.
Yeah, nice to meet you.
Appreciate that.
