 Where were your SO's
on 9/11? since we have quite a few new peeps, figured i'd ask....
Doug was in Boston - supposed to fly out about 11:45AM out of Logan. Needless to say, that didn't happen but what did happen is that Delta lost all of the BOS/NY crews that were in the area... literally!! scheduling kept telling them to stay put, so for 6 days, a good 12 pilots (just in boston alone) hung out at the Mccormick & Schmicks waiting to hear back from Delta about what they wanted them to do - they never did call back with instructions. after 6 days, he decided to try and jump home...he almost decided to drive home - can you imagine how long that would have taken!? whew!!!
A few days during, the hotel across from doug's was raided as that was one of the hotels that the hijackers stayed at...it was quite nervewrackiing for him....and me
When i called him that morning, he was getting ready for work and didn't have the boob tube on...as soon as i told him there was no WAY he was flying out of Logan today, he didn't understand why and i had him turn on the tv...about then, his mom and everyone started calling him, so i let him go to take those calls...but it was just a mess up there! |
