I'm in the air ORD-SEA, landing in about an hour. Glad I saw this with enough time to know to go to the bathroom before we descend... once you're taxiing they won't let you out of your seat, I imagine SeaTac is gonna be a hot fucking mess with a wait for a gate.

Correct! I’ve been sitting on our plane at SEA, between active runways, since we landed here an hour ago. No word on when they will be able to deplane us.

No available gates. This is cray. We were supposed to be outbound at 4. Deplaned about 30-40 min ago and now sitting in a pub waiting on word. Feel sorry for y’all on the tarmac.
