Some islands, you just can't leave

Delta was due to fly back from Athens on Tuesday. So Tuesday afternoon, I texted him:
Welcome back to NY!

I immediately got a response:
Still in Athens. Missed flight. Long story.

Missed his flight?? How can a pilot miss his flight?! So I shot back:
What happened?!

Plane six hours late. I went out for lunch, came back, flt left without me. Not my fault. Took other pilot from previous flight.

Oh dear. And so it came about that brave Delta, for a fault no greater than wanting a quick bite to eat, ended up missing the flight he was due to pilot. Heh! What is this world coming to.
