Sittin' in JAX
 
So what's the over/under on CO604 making ito EWR tonight? Right now they've got us listed to leave at like 9:00 on the PDA site but the Delta Crown Room is closing at 7:30. :td:

At least there's free wi-fi in the terminal ^ so I can book a hotel room if this flight doesn't go.

And all this on my birthday....I just wana go home :rolleyes:

I just checked on the flights coming into SFO from EWR tonight. :td:
Alot of weather delays. Most of the arrivals "might" be arriving between 12a-3a. Only a few hours late.

Currently two SFOEWR flights are on ATC holds. The first red-eye to EWR is delayed from 10:10 to 12:45 and climbing.

I have a feeling it's going to be a long night. Maybe I should take another nap.

Just got a text message pushing flight time up to 8:10.....I wonder if that's update time or wheels-up time? I really don't feel like getting up and walking to the gate to find out.

Happy Birthday to You

Sorry that you might be spending the night at the airport. I use to always fly on my birthdate just because. The first time I did, I got the last room in Beijing when I told them it was my birthday.

If your plane is sitting in JAX, waiting to depart, I'd say even money but if you are waiting for a plane you're SOL.

paging crystal ball
 
sfogate, what's your crystal ball telling you about CO604 tonight? Is it full enough that I could get a VDB and just go home tomorrow when the :rolleyes: at EWR is cleared up??

How great would it be to score a bump with overnight accomodations and then have the original flight cancel on WX?! :D

Your flight still has seats available, sorry.
I see that your plane has landed in JAX. Next step is to see if the crews are still legal and for how long.

Good luck with getting home tonight.

Thanks :D

This one's the big 37 (wow....in a row?! (ConciergeMike, there's a movie reference for you))

My inbound just landed and is taxiing in but if EWR is still really :rolleyes: with displaced planes all over the northeast, I think they'll just overnight us here and use the plane for a 7:00 AM departure. The counter agent said she thought the crew went illegal at 10:00 but who knows.

Thanks for taking a peek....I appreciate it. The flight was full and possibly overbooked earlier today but I'm guessing they took all the people with connections and sent them to CLE and IAH.

Thanks guys....I appreciate it.

sbm12, I think when your original flight was CX'd, you achieved VDB total consciousness. So you've got that goin' for you.....which is nice
