How will the weather be in IAH on 27th? Is it still doom/gloomy and snow?
I only have 5 more days of vacation and I'm hoping to miss any crappy weather when I go back to work on Sunday.

Great Southern Snowstorm, part deux, doesn't look like it will be possible for that date. GFS keeps predicting a massive cold dump into the South on the 8-16 day long-range, but it never happens.

Hopefully your flight departs at a non-bank peak hours.

We just got a look at the new bid (start date in Jan) and it looks like I will remain working in the BS (baggage service) department for another few months.^

Hooray. I like going home on time.

I'm sure ORD is better able to handle the weather than the DCA area. Hopefully your flight departs at a non-bank peak hours.

Hopefully this is something that ORD can handle relatively easily.

I built a 5-hour layover in at ORD, and my IAH-ORD flight is mainline UA (less likely to be cancelled in the event of sloppy weather, I would hope).

Since they opened the new 9L/27R on the far north side of the field, things have been better in foul weather. Expect the usual delays for deicing. Plus, when the poop hits the spinning blades, they usually keep the international destinations going. It's the folks flying ORD-MSN who get hosed, not ORD-IST.

Your hope is well-placed. It's usually the UX routes than get canned first.

My mother says I can get a job in the BS department anywhere in the world.

If it looks :rolleyes: on Thursday, I may just see if UA will put me on CO. The CO flights will be originating from IAH, and will likely have no issues going into ORD by afternoon. I wonder how that sort of scenario plays out on a BD award ticket.
