Thanks, PainCorp and FWAAA - both extremely helpful (although a door slam on my hopes). I'll share your pessimism about the first deadline being met in any case - and even that would torpedo me.

Now I have to decide if the lure of CX is worth another trip through TSA - and of course the added chance of a missed flight. Maybe, maybe not. But FT came through for me again, and quick. Thanks.
