Tom's flight to Chicago on Flyaway Airlines has been delayed and now he worries he'll miss his meeting. He talks to Mike, a representative of the airline.
VOICE: Attention passengers on Flight 394 to Chicago. This flight has been delayed. Please stand by for more information.
Tom: Excuse me, I'm on the flight to Chicago. When will it depart now?
Mike: It looks like it'll be delayed at least two hours. I'll keep you posted.
Tom: I have a 4 o'clock meeting in Chicago. If the flight gets in at 3:30, there's no way I'll make it.
Mike: Sorry, but there's nothing I can do. There are lots of other people here in the same boat.
Tom: Are there any other flights to Chicago?
Mike: Yes, there's a 1 p.m. departure, but it's fully booked.
Tom: Can you put me on the waiting list?
Mike: I'll add you to the list, but don't hold your breath. There are quite a few people already on the list.
Tom: Can I fly another airline?
Mike: Other airlines won't honor your Flyaway Airlines ticket.
Tom: Oh, for crying out loud! This is so annoying.
Mike: I'm sorry you're annoyed, but there's nothing more I can do.
Tom: Let me give you a piece of my mind. I won't be using Flyaway Airlines again anytime soon!
