how about this for a bad day

Just spare a thought for the poor flybe skipper operating the q400 into sou today!
Firstly he has abusive pax on board and calls for police prescence to have the bloke arrested on arrival.
Then has a problem with his flaps which makes him hold for 20 mins and come in on a full emergency. Then obviosly his a/c is tech but only for about 30 mins.
In the meantime his cabin crew have been taken away by police to give statements and return to the a/c 45 mins later. Just as hes thinking about leaving the computer systems go down and he has to do a manual loadsheet witht the dispatcher.
Then the runway is closed for 30 mins due to what the airport called a "splillage". they wouldn't divulge any more info.
Finally 2 3/4 hours and lots of p*##@d off pax later he left only to have to fit in another 3 sectors!
