A report from a colleague .....
Well, we were supposed to leave here this weekend, and I was planning
on coming back to the office on Wednesday. Now we're trapped here
for who knows how long. Our flight was canceled and they rebooked us
on another flight yesterday. We went to Heathrow, kids, lots of
luggage and all, and stood outside for a couple hours before our new
flight was canceled. They're not even letting people into the
terminals. We were just massed in a car park area outside while
people called out flights with a megaphone that no one could hear.
There were lines just for the privilege of asking a person standing
outside for information, which they usually didn't have.
Unfortunately, we're on British Airways and they seem to be doing
much worse than the other airlines, canceling most of their flights.
In theory, we're going two and two on Tuesday and Wednesday, but I
don't know if even that will happen. Vytas is on a hopeless mission
to the airport to stand in some ridiculous line to try to persuade
someone to rebook us on another airline.
So, in short, I may be in on Wednesday, but I'm beginning to feel
pretty pessimistic about that.
Hope everyone in the office has had a good summer. We've had a great
time here, though I'm not liking the end game at all.
