could be worse

The flight has "mechancial difficulties."

GOOD NEWS: This has been identified before we actually started to fly.

BAD NEWS: Instead of flying to birmingham via atlanta, we are now flying to birmingham via cincinnati. And instead of getting there in the afternoon we're not getting there until almost 10pm.

WORSE NEWS: There are no bathrooms once you go through security in this terminal. NO BATHROOMS. Good lord. Now I have to make some tough personal decisions. But you don't want to hear about that.

More later...

UPDATE: New flight is already delayed.

FULL DISCLOSURE: This crapper-less terminal doesn't look at all like this photo.
