    Get the team from Houston up here! I have never had the designated gate open when I arrive at Chicago. Come on!

    Proceed directly to the Penalty Box and don't pass go. Hopefully you are in first so you can at least get some free junk during your time here.

    Hope your FO keeps checking to see when your gate is open or else you might not get notified from dispatch!

    Don't be mean to your flight attendant because you're here. It's not their fault.

    If on UA, turn on channel 9, hear from ATC the real reason (and time) for your hold.

    Apparently this is where early flights get sent to wait for a gate. Bummer.
