Last month, I had a completely "nominal" flight to/from LAX. First time in years I've been able to get to/from California without a flight cancellation, missed connection, mechanical problem, etc.
For example: last year I got bumped at LAX. But then the incoming plane was late so some passengers bailed, so I was back on. Then the plane showed up in the middle of a huge downpour. In the process of servicing the plane in that mess one of the ground crew drove a service truck right into the airframe, bending the door! It just went downhill from there. Arrived home 24 hours late and exhausted. Again.
Hopefully I won't be getting back to my usual pattern... leaving for the airport shortly...
