I am MEX - CLT. How about you D1?

MEM. Getting used to a life where 60% of any connection has a chance of being delayed...

Now customs hall is full so they won't let us off the plane due to fire code. Was 1 hour on the tarmac up to this point.

I've sat on the CLT tarmac for an hour and a half in the past, stay strong!
