I have updated my World Trade Center photo page with more pictures. The page is rather large, and may be slow to load for some of you. I am working on breaking it down into two or more pages. I still hope to add more information, like better maps, to help everyone understand the city. Check it out by clicking on the American Flag link down the left column. Also, American and United Airlines employees, along with the U.S. Military are conducting a cross country flag run from Boston to Los Angeles to complete the flights of American and United that never made it, raise money for various 9.11.2001 charities, and to show support of military troops fighting the 'new war'. Check out their website at www.flagrun.org to make a donation or simply check on the progress. The flag left Boston at noon on October 11 and is expected to arrive on Veteran's Day, November 11 in Los Angeles.
Bethany and I made it home last night, although 50 minutes late. I thought Southwest was always on-time? Or so passengers tell me when we're delayed. For the record, Bethany was an hour late arriving in Reno on Friday. I flew American and was on-time! So there! Perhaps, though, Southwest was trying to make up that hour they took from Beth on Friday by giving it back to her on Sunday? If that's the case, they still owe her ten minutes!
I am off now until Wednesday, so I get to spend the next two days doing laundry and getting ready to leave again. I am on reserve this month, which I hate, because I don't know when I am going, if I am going and where I am going if I am going. Huh? Exactly. Never sounds quite right to me either. Speaking of work, my job is precariously on the line. American has already laid off 1,000 flights attendants who were on probation and had not yet completed six months with the company. The company announced to us last week we still have an overage of 3,306 flight attendants. There are approximately 2,300 flight attendants below me. What does this mean? I'm outtie - maybe. AA has offered 3,306 leaves of six months. Hopefully 3,306 people take them so the company doesn't have to furlough anyone. As long as a little more than a thousand take a leave, I should be ok. Keep your fingers crossed. I should know by weeks end.
