Ultimately, my plane ended up being over five hours late. When I got in, I didn't want to mess with the computer, but I attended most of the afternoon and evening sessions. However, Clark Lindsey has several posts up on what's going on at the conference (just keep scrolling). I had a long day, and I probably won't check in again until manana.

I thought about asking this before, but held off, figuring you had a reason for withholding information; but who did you fly with? There was pretty good weather across the nation. In 5 hours, an airline can get another plane in place.

The only reason I "withheld" the information was because I was tired, and not inclined to write much. It was US Air.

Ah. I would ask why you would chance them, but looking at the departure and destination, it should have been reasonable.

Yes, cheapest fare, and only non-stop.
