The airline was Northwest Airlines.
Oh Lord. Last time I flew Northwest I got delayed for several hours in Detroit. The stated reason was "The aircraft that we have isn't suitable for our purposes tonight."
You could see all the nervous flyers get freaked out, poor things. Our purposes, as far as I could tell, were to fly. They might as well have said "Well, we could probably get this thing in the air, but no guarantee it will stay there!"
I think what actually happened was a toilet overflow...
