The Greatly Inconvenient: AA, DFW to SLC. Lost luggage. With the wedding dress. Phone call to Crandall himself. Bag found, wedding on schedule. The Greatly Humiliating: UA. Qatar Airways. London. Dead member of the Qatar royal family. Flight arrives in Doha to full honors reception. No body. UA left it behind in London. The Greatly Gross: UA. Not their fault this time. MIA - BUE. Drunk passenger. Upset with the service. His solution? A bowel movement on the First Class serving cart during dinner. Plane pulls over to the nearest airport, drops him off under arrest, bans him for life, sues for damages and wins! The Greatest Gaffe: AA. Plane pulls from the gate, gets airbone, all things normal. Pilots hear a knock on the door (LONG before 9/11). Passenger standing there: "Anybody around to get us a cup of coffee?" They had left the flight attendants behind. And the beat goes on..... Let the fun and factual follies begin!
