Early AM Tuesday - Leslie called AA CARGO - "Looks good, bring him on."
Early AM at Wichita Falls = NOPE - Too Cold NOT gonna take him!
<melt down> ... Woody returns home
Leslie called - rather *pi$$ed - NOT goin back there!
I called Wichita Falls Airport - office gave me the local A Eagle ticket office AND
the name of the Manager gal. I called Ms. Manager.
Not much fanfare or explanation other than "Our puter says 25* and it's too cold to fly the dog.
I'm not going to accept him today." Her manager? She didn't have one - SHE's in charge.
I called AA CARGO / Dallas and asked for a Super.
SUPER NICE Lady (Shawna) picked up and listened to my 5-day tail of Grief & Woe
at Wichita Falls. We had a chat about what HER puter said = it WAS too cold in Wichita Falls
at 7-8 am - but WF, Dallas, and Philly were all above 25 NOW, and would remain that way
until midnight. "We 'should' accept him now and he could make the 11:28 flight # 3212." She said "Lemmie call WF and talk to Ms. Twila ... hold a minute."
Couple minutes later she came back and "explained" that WF didn't have access to good
weather info and went with poor data. She said Ms. Twila agreed to accept & FLY Woody if
he got back in time for the 11:28 flight.
I offered Shawna a 'kiss behind the ear'
Leslie has agreed to once again haul Woody back to the airport at 9:30 ---
PLEASE PRAY that nothing (else) goes wrong!!
With a lil bit of luck - Woody will be in the air at 11:28 on Flight # 3212
and arrive in Dallas / FtWorth at 12:20 pm.
Layover in DFW till Flight # 348 departs DFW at 1:35 pm (central time) and
Arrives Philly at 5:45 pm.
PLEASE, God - Make it Happen!
