About Me
I am 36 years old. Happily married in 2000 to a wonderful man who I met on the internet. :o) I have a step-daughter who is soon to be married. I moved from Indiana to Georgia in 2000, talk about your culture shock! I'm by no means perfect, but I am striving to be the woman God would have me to be. Proverbs 31 is my goal, but I am still a work in progress. What is this blog About My Friends My Etsy Store My Links Archives

Saturday, January 06, 2007 SHE IS NEVER FLYING AGAIN!!!!! That's it, we have decided that Heather is never flying again. We have secured her room with steel vault doors, an intercom system, a computer and web cam. We will be able to communicate through the intercom and she can finish high scool via web cam, then take college courses on-line. Ok, so we're not going to do that. I would however be happy if she decided never to fly again. Yesterday her flight was to leave for Portland at 2:10, BUT they were running late. This wouldn't be a huge deal except the flight she was supposed to catch in Portland headed to Denver was a tight fit anyway she only had 20 minutes to get to the gate. Well the delay caused her to arrive at the airport about 5 minutes after the Denver flight left. We started calling while she was enroute to Portland trying to get them to hold the flight since it was so close, they wouldn't do it. She (being a supervisor I finally talked to)said they could not hold the flight. I even tried to envoke Rule 240 that we had heard about from John Tesh which says that they have to put you on a flight of your approval even if it's a different airline. She told me the flight had to be 1.5 hours late, which I think I found out is false, it had to be a 2 hour flight. When we checked on-line there were no better options than the one they switched her to since they would not hold the flight. We tried all kinds of combinations, even her flying into Indianapolis so my mom could pick her up. We spent an hour trying ot resolve it, but nothing could be done. Side note: When I flew to Arizona, on the way back our flight was late and they held a connecting flight for one of the gentlemen on our plane. They let him off before the rest of us so they could rush him to the plane. So, I know they do this, I just don't know if there were other circumstances that prevented them from doing it. Quite frankly, I was so freaked out about it, I didn't care at the time. When she got to Portland she had to wait for a flight at 11pm, that is after getting there at about 4:45pm. That flight took her to Chicago and then Nashville at 8 something this morning! She was supposed to arrive in Nashville at 11:11pm last night. She is now exhausted but safely with her pawpaw in Manchester, TN. We are going to go to his church tomorrow and bring her home then. He doesn't see her much and wanted to spend some time with her. Originally she was coming home today, but she needs that time with her pawpaw. Whew!! I'm so glad that is over!!! She is going to make an old lady of me yet. *sigh* :o) Thank You Lord for Heather's safe arrival. Not the way we wanted, but exactly how you planned. Chrisi Coffee Talk at 12:22 PM

I cannot believe they wouldn't hold the flight seeing as how it's THEIR job to make sure things run smoothly. *rolls eyes*
