How do you Park a 777

Well, American Airlines and JFK airport seem to have discovered for the first time that there are two types of these new Boeing monoliths. There is a 777-200 and a 222-300. Oh, you can't park a 200 and a 300 in the same place. And if you do it wrong, it takes half and hour to straighten it out.

I just hate it when that happens. You know, you have been on a plane for 7 hours. Fair enough. But when it lands, you want the hell off the thing. We were all up in the aisles, getting coats and bags, and then were told to sit down again so they could move the plane.

Sigh – And I'll bet that no one will be counseled or have something put in their record over this little error. It will be just another 300 people inconvenienced.
