Bob CollinsWhich would you rather happen: Win the lottery or be the only person on your Delta Airlines flight?
They rebooked everyone but me on another flight to LGA, so I am literally the only person on this plane. pic.twitter.com/ZZNPACUOfR

It happened yesterday to Chris O’Leary, who was scheduled on a morning flight from Cleveland to New York yesterday. When it was canceled, all the other passengers were rebooked on a 9:30 flight. Except for him.
He could’ve gotten on the rebooked flight, but he missed the pages at the airport.
Just got a personal safety briefing from my two flight attendants.

As the plane was pushed back to taxi, it was pulled back to the jetway for a second passenger, but that was it for the flight.
Why would the airline bother flying a near-empty airplane? The airplane had to be in New York for its next flight.
