Thread: Luck of the Nonrev?

So, we were trying to get back to IND from ATL.
First flight had 2 open and I sent my wife and daughter on it.
I was bumped from the next three and the rest of the day was negative.
I saw DAY had 50 open and since it is about a two hour drive, I went for it.
I booked a one way car rental and hopped on the MD-88.
I tried to get some other nonrevs who were trying to go to IND, to come with me in order to keep costs down on the car.
Nobody wanted to.
Once we were near DAY, we circled a bit, and Captain said there was weather in DAY.
We tried an approach and missed it due to wind shear warnings.
Captain said if we missed a second time we would divert to IND.
YES!!!
Well, we missed the second time too and went to IND.
I stepped off the plane and went home.
