No Fortitude For Longitude, Part 20

I work in a call center for an airline.

Caller: “My flight from New York to Hawaii leaves at 10:00 am and lands at 4:10 pm.”

Me: “Yes, that’s right.”

Caller: “But that’s, like, six hours. But it says my flight is over eleven hours!”

Me: “Yes, but remember the time zone change. The flight time is still eleven hours, but because of the time difference, you still only land later in the afternoon local to Hawaiian time.”

Caller: “But Hawaii is still in America!”

Me: “Hawaii is in the United States, yes, but since it’s also in the middle of the Pacific, its time zone is quite different from New York’s.”

Caller: “But all of America is in one time zone! One country, one time zone!”

Me: “That’s not true. There are four time zones alone in the contiguous United States.”

Caller: “No! ‘One nation under God, indivisible!’ Jesus said so!”

Oh, boy…
