If you read the full piece, it might not be as bad as it looks. 24
people who had been booked on a flight from Albany to DC that was
cancelled by US Air were put on the flight that was diverted to Albany.
But before blame goes to the first daughters, it turns out that it's
not unusual for US Airways to make such diversions. "Yes, there are
times when we will divert an airplane to pick up passengers off of
another canceled flight. We do that when we have no other way to
accommodate those customers," said airline spokesman David Castelveter.
In addition to the Bush twins, 22 other beleaguered passengers also
boarded in Albany.
I have as little use for Shrub as anyone, but he's guilty of enough
without adding dubious aspersions.
Just a thought,
Nick

Plane Diverted For Bush Twins
Last Saturday, a flight from Boston to Washington was redirected to
Albany in order pick up Barbara and Jenna Bush, the Washington Post
reports. "'We land in Albany, and the doors open and in come Jenna and
Barbara and several Secret Service agents" (according to a passenger).
"I kept thinking, I haven't heard of anybody diverting planes for all
these other people being inconvenienced. This doesn't fit in the norm
of airline travel." The plane eventually arrived two hours late in
Washington.
