Maybe you had a strange 'Bus'. I hear 'em windup all the time at LAX and have noticed nothing unusual. I had a strange 'BUS' ride...I took an HP Bus from ORD-LAS...and boy if it did scare the Be-Jesus outta everyone on the plane. As we descended into Vegas (I dunno if it was the heat or what)..But it "sounded like" we were all in a giant Coke can..and someone was slowly squeezing the crap out of it! This went on for 20-30 minutes. Everyone just looked at each other with that 'WTF" look! Later, I asked an FA friend about it and the HP folks said it was news to them. Go figure. greg
