There's a Southwest employee in Orlando (a gate agent) who was helping passengers deal with a flight delay.
Kristin Dundas of Windermere, Florida, was planning to fly Thursday from Orlando to Washington D.C. She was one of the delayed passengers.
Kristin said the gate agent held a contest for the “worst driver’s license picture,” and also a paper airplane contest.
Kristin tweeted: “My flight to Washington DC has been delayed for almost 2 and a half hours and I was getting HEATED until this gate agent started playing games with everyone waiting to pass the time and now I’m like I’ll wait all d--- night if you keep this up."
A Southwest Airlines representative responded with the following: “I'm glad our Agent was able to make the delay a little more bearable for y'all, Kristen! We hope to have you on your way ASAP.”
