Outstanding work, both here and by many others in the thread.  This is what the offseason's all about.
 
Lots of famous and/or trendy people roll through or live in Austin, where I live, so I've seen Tarantino, Connick Jr., Mia Hamm, Dennis Quaid/Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock, one or both of the Wilson brothers, etc.  But this thread's about flights, so I'll try to stay on point.  
 
The reference to the ATL reminded me of a time when I was stuck there in a classic Delta oversold situation.  The departure time keeps getting pushed off, usually about fifteen minutes after the promised time has already expired--and the mob is getting restless thinking about connections, hungry/overtired/squalling children, and so on.  The tension's getting pretty thick overall, and all of a sudden, up walks Johnny Cochran, all suited up and flanked by a couple of apparent handlers.  I only hear some of the exchange, but he's upset about not getting the upgrade or seat he wanted, and it's clear that he's not getting the treatment he thinks he deserves.  As he walks off to look for some seats in the gate area, I say to my wife, "If Johnny don't fit, the plane must sit."
 
I was pretty close to the attendants' check-in desk, but I couldn't be sure he heard me.  I certainly hope so.  Got a good laugh out of the wife, at least.  So I've got that going for me.
