This will not happen to anyone else, just me.

Oh go for it, think of the story you'll have to tell. You know M767 you could try singing (instead of the screaming) to calm your nerves, just don't sing anything depressing like any song from Steely Dan.
On a road trip once I awoke to RJ singing - chorus

" I'll learn to work the saxophone
I'll play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues "

Steely Dan - Deacon Blues YouTube - Steely Dan - Deacon Blues

Played it 3 times, called it the ultimate blues/jazz road song....... it did give me pause, just as we entered the Eisenhower Tunnel (boy was I glad to see Denver.)

best laid plans of spouse and men...
weather in midwest crippled flights to darn near everywhere!!
I never saw so many HK's in my life--every LIM flt had 35-50 inconvenienced/misconnected pax
Mostly I think due to tour groups that "had" to fly together--one large Asian bunch of about 15 on one standby list. those poor people were helpless and clueless about anything. GA's had trouble pronouncing names and group had deer in headlights look--like a little herd of goats in the road.
we moved hotel/taxi arrangements so many times I got dizzy. Finally realized we MIGHT get on in anotehr day and it was too much sitting in ATL hotel.
So we tried IST, ATH, MAD, BCN--HKG, SEA--you name it, we couldn't get to gateway in NY or DTW or ANYWHERE. except one flight to MCO was open and we headed there and went to sister's in Daytona.
WHat a disaster!
SOOOO--I talked Boss into going during his no fly days. The hotel was going to cancel 100% if I didnt give new dates yesterday.
More when I get there!!
Palms--tell your brotehr about a Pisco distillery: El Sarcay de Azpitia. It's where my friends went without us and said it was great!

"Sorry to hear all that. Summers suck for travel. The bro seems to be hung up with important meetings and people. Tells me he met the Peruvian President. Garcia."


HA HA--so did Joran VanderSlut Puppy!!
Aside from that issue, it's pretty impressive.

the worst part of this is that there are no major weather issues and today there are 33 HK's and 25 nonrevs.
ACK !! (doing my best "Bill the Cat" impression)

Oh, you're right- but didn't her father run for the VICE presidency? This whole bunch sounds like they're morally bankrupt

You plan and plan, rearrange schedules, watch loads for weeks, and it all boils down to.........the weather.
