Nice!

Did you go standby or what?

Some seats opened up last night, so someone was able to grab a seat for me. ^ Perfect timing...

DC was a mess this morning! I cannot possibilty imagine they are getting another 15 or so inches... It is going to be chaotic in DC until next week. I hope everything will be fine on the east coast and that things will return to normal as swiftly as possible.

Know whats funny, I saw the AS Boeing special livery plane at DCA today. That plane must be stalking me

Just hoping my SEA-EWR flt on Thursday is going to make it out. I hear fm a buddy of mine in central NJ that they have 5 inches of heavy wet stuff on the ground right now, with winds and snow picking up at the moment. Airport ground crews are going to earn their pay today trying to clear things up.

Thanks... ORD seems to be in a good shape, so I think you will make it

Yikes, the chances are good that Thurs. flights might will get canceled. However, today's AS 14 has not been canceled yet, so if that flight makes it to EWR and then I think tomorrow's flights will survive [at least the evening flight].

SEA-BOS is already cancelled today. I'm glad PDX-BOS is not running on wednesdays so the crew for my flight tomorrow are already in BOS. The airport should be clear before the flight leaves PDX. Hope they dont cancel becasue Thursday and Friday flights are completely sold out. I don't want to try out priority standby on this trip

BOS appears to have been spared again. It stayed over feeezing most of the day so snow wasn't sticking right away. Accumulation estimates are down to 3-6in of snow which is our definition of a plowable snow event, which is one step up higher than a dusting
