OK, Captain Flanagan emailed me, and he said anything after 5PM would work for him (and his First Officer, who'll be coming along as well^). He left the location up to FlyerTalkers, so let's come up with something fast.
What would be the best compromise time that would allow the most people to make it? 5:30PM? 6PM?
The Captain is staying in Redondo Beach (I'm not great with LA geography, but I think I have an idea where that is), but I guess it would be best for us to choose an area near the airport, since it seems like a few people are flying in and out and have limited time. So anyone have an LAX area restaurant suggestion?
