Florida Sen. Marco Rubio doesn’t tweet often, but a lengthy flight delay inspired him to kill some time with his iPhone.
Trying to get to DC for early morning votes tonight but let's just say this has not been the best week in American Airlines history.

Every American flight I have been on this week has been at least two hours late or cancelled. This one already one hour delayed.

American Air says maintenance problem.Yet suddenly group of new passengers boarding.Holding plane to get connectors on from delayed flight?

Delaying flight for "maintenance" to squeeze connectors from other flight, oldest trick in book.Feel bad for crew.#cmonman #AmericanAirlines

C’mon, man! Fortunately, a Tea Party patriot is at the controls.
Since I am going off on #AmericanAirlines tonight, let me say pilots and flight attendants they have are top notch. #nottheirfault

Hearing from some about American sick outs. Not on this flight. Pilot member of #teaparty.

Oh guess what? They fixed the plane! Just as the last of the connecting passengers finished boarding. #magic

Pilots are two military veterans, lovers of liberty and believers in constitution. They tell me "sickouts" is not true. Airline understaffed

I must now turn of my electronic device. I hope tonight's tirade didn't cost me my Executive Platinum status.
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) September 22, 2012
It looks like all is forgiven.
@marcorubio Thanks for your patience, Marco. We hope you have a great flight.
