Another hour. We’re in the plane though.

Surprisingly, my flight to DC is still showing on time.

The good news is it’s from Westchester, so not far from my house. And if they cancel it I can just drive.

I’m going to the annual conference of the AASLD (American Association for the Study of Liver Disease), colloquially known as ‘The Liver Meeting’. The good news is the important events don’t start until tomorrow so it doesn’t matter if I’m delayed by having to drive.

Mine was less than 15 minutes delayed, slightly longer queueing time waiting to get onto the runway, basically on-time as far as I am concerned.

Arrived DCA. 15m late here too

Looks normal.

Haven’t seen the news, did they walk this back given the holiday weekend?

Good to hear. I haven’t followed the news. Took my daughter to Mall of America today. Fun times!

Apparently there were about 1000 flights canceled today.

Wonder how they pick and choose? I know they said earlier flights are less likely to be canceled, but of course the later flights are subject to the ripple effects if the source aircraft doesn't arrive.

BTW one of these days our DCA travel might overlap. My next trip is likely week of January 6th (heh)

Re security and controllers...
Does it make travelling potentially less safe?
Do you feel less safe?

[jon-nyc]

Meh. All I worry about is delays and cancellations.

I saw a bunch of people on Facebook blaming the UPS crash in Kentucky on the lack of controllers or Trump or something, which seemed a bit silly to me.
