I wonder how many stupid passengers got angry and complained about the delay. Quite a few, I bet.
I doubt the Captain was able to offer a cogent explanation on the PA.And nor would he. He'd probably get fired for announcing that the airliner was not safe to fly. And the lawyers would have a field day.
Another one of many required nails in LoCo's coffin. It will be a while, and a couple of accidents will happen before questions are asked.
Anyway, well done the pilot flying. And no criticism to ATC at Vegas. Good controllers there.
