It was pretty frustrating to get in as late as we did. We boarded the first flight on time, but were then deboarded because of a software issue. It seems like that's something they should have been aware of before we got on the plane. It took over 3 hours for us to get a new plane.

The great thing about DFB is that you can check the O-rings before loading your tank. We ended up turning away at least one every day because of a bad O-ring. Some were in pieces, others were hanging halfway out of the valve.
Rough day for both of us.

I am curious. What color were your bad orings?
 
Typically, the ones that were hanging out of the valve were black and the ones with a chunk or two missing were greenish.
I thought that might be the case. The new orings that I saw at the Port Bonaire location were white. I would expect that they are probably slowly phasing out the old ones.
