Aug.25th. Boarded the plane at 6 pm and were told it was on time. 4 1/2 hours later the plane took off! Lots of nonsensical excuses, flight patterns changed, refueling, one person ill, etc.,etc. We were told you can't be held hostage so you can deplane but no guarantee you will be able to reboard. One attendant said she was working a 16 hour shift. (No happy campers on the flight). Prior to boarding I noticed at the next gate the flight to Manchester, England was calling for its' flight attendants to please board so they could depart. What is going on? It seemed to us a work slowdown was in progress. That will be our last Kennedy destination if we can help it! Jean Giovinco Almost forgot to mention they ran out of food. Only snack boxes at $5.oo a pop! My husband and I flew US Air flight 17 to Phoenix out of Kennedy on Sat. Aug.25th.
