I took the bus over. Not too bad but no faster than walking other than the part where I was still inside security.

And then I got to play with the scanner gun. :D

Back in the SKL now for a Johnnie Black and trying to get my international data plan active. VZW is half closed; this should be interesting. Only 30 or so minutes until boarding. And I actually got a competent agent. Only 7:30 total on the phone and I'm all set. I love it when a plan comes together.

Time for another drink...

I miss the old days at my job. Since a reorg and change of my direct manager, it seems like I can't ever do anything right. And it's always over very trivial stuff that really doesn't matter. Seems like I've traded the mostly hands-off manager for the micro-manager.

I'm a native of the area - 24 hours is more than enough to visit family ;)

We're sure you'll ace it.

Greetings from the ATL Hyatt run, stays through the beginning of next week ranging from $50 a night through $77 a night (with sufficient Costco certs available).

Got the blocked row of 4 and a very polite and apologetic INP on the opup.

Our departure is artificially delayed to allow for arrival afer the curfew lifts at 6am. We have to take off late in order to arrive on time. Go figure.

Sorry to hear the continued issues. :(

Ah, not too far from me then. Will have to look for it the next time over in that area.

Plane went MX. Now 90 minutes delayed at best. They said engine part but I don't see anyone by any of the 4 so I'm not so sure. And, of course, we're on a rolling 30 minute delay schedule. :td:

FAs are talking about going illegal. CBP has an agent stationed on the jetway and she's pissed because someone has to stay until we actually leave.

Just spoke with one of the pilots and apparently it is something to do with a piece of insulation that fits between the engine and the mounting strut. They are canibalizing other planes from the other side of the field to try to make this one work. First piece they pulled apparently didn't fit. Trying to pull another one now.
