Woody's in PA!! See Karen's new thread

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

OH NOOOOOOOO , poor poor Woody.....
What now???

[AdoreMyDogs]

The only way we can get him out sooner is if we drive him to Dallas. I don't mind driving there, but we don't have a fuel efficent vehicle (minivan) and it's a 2 hour drive one way. That totals about $70 round trip or so. We are broke at the moment. Hubby got paid last night but we went shopping and we don't have anything else to use as a cushion this pay period. I have a very part time evening job (usually 2 evenings per week I work) but they didn't have me on any hours last week and just one night the week previous, so I don't have a paycheck to help with bills this pay period.

Here's hoping they can fly Woody out on Sunday. They told us it shouldn't be a problem, but they wouldn't know for sure until Sunday.

They told us it shouldn't be a problem,
but they wouldn't know for sure until Sunday.

NOTE: The BIG Problem with Woody flying on Sunday is going to be the TEMPERATURE
in either Harrisburg OR Philadelphia!

The forecast HIGH on on Sunday is only 27* ... with the evening LOWs at 15*.
The High of 27* will dip below 25* at 4:00 pm.
Woody would have to drop into Philly between Noon and 3:00 pm - with no room for "delays".

MONDAY, January 21 (Mratin Luther King Day) would be MUCH Better to fly him -
Almost a heat wave hits Philly with a HIGH of 31* in the early afternoon.

JENN ~ Do you have MONDAY "off" as a Holiday?
Even if you don't, the optimal arrival times would be either 4:25 pm or 5:45 pm
on Monday - you can get to Philly by 4:25 pm, can't you?

Here's the Flight Pairs - Sunday And Monday - same flight numbers, same times >>>

Early Bird from (SPS) Wichita Falls to (DFW) Dallas/Ft Worth:
Flight # 3226 - Depart WF @ 9:23 am; arrive DFW @ & 10:15 am

Connects with Flight # 604 from DFW to (PHL) Philadelphia, PA
Flight # 604 - Depart DFW @ 12:15 pm; arrive Philly @ 4:25 pm (getting COLD)

This pair is NO Good on Sunday (Philly will be too cold); but OK on Monday:
Flight # 3212 - depart WF @ 11:28 am; arrive DFW @ 12:30 pm
Flight # 348 - depart DFW @ 1:35 pm; arrive Philly @ 5:45 pm

All things considered -

A Sunday flight is going to be "risky" - he could get held up or refused for the low temperatures.

MONDAY is a safer bet - the heat wave of 31* in Philly opens up the allowable window a little bit.

PS: The notes about Hours of Operation at Philly =
No Problem - the Agent advised that Woody, as a "PPS" (Priority Parcel Service) shipment,
will be "handled" by Passanger BAGGAGE folks - who DO work all 7 days -
he'll be availabe for pickup at Philly every day 8am - 2am, including Holidays.

Hey Phred...
I am OFF on Monday for MLK day.

Sunday is supposed to be REALLY cold (23*F) because of a front coming in from Canada. Monday shouldn't be as bad. Poor little guy will freeze in the cargo area!

I'm confused with the baggage thing... does that mean he comes in to the regular terminal, or the separate cargo area???

1) Someone be sure that Leslie reads all this and DOESN'T try to fly Woody on Sunday!

2) Monday "should be" an OK to fly day - but the weather at Philly needs to be checked
later on Sunday to see what the Monday forecast is.

3) Pickup location ... I "think" it will be at the Passenger Baggage Area ---
But *I* will determine exactly where the pickup point is after we decide
What DAY he's going to fly.

Jenn:

I'd be sitting at the airport wondering what was going on!

Don't you have a CELL Phone to keep in touch with?
A Cell is almost a requirement to to successfully "find" Woody - so much can change
at the last minute - you need to be "in touch" with AA CARGO and one of us.

[jennielynn1970]

Yes, I have a cell phone. Leslie has both home and cell numbers for me. I DID have laryngitis for the past week +, and Leslie knew I couldn't talk at all, and just got my voice back today for the most part, so hopefully I can get to talk to her tonight or tomorrow.

[molucass]

I'm sorry things didn't work out today.
Hopefully soon though!

Lots of prayers for little Woody when he is able to fly!
