Just got finished getting ready for my trip this morning to London from New York, yeah I could hear the wind blowing all night and yes I could see the beach all covered in snow, but I checked the computer and still showed my flight was going this morning.
Computer showed my plane was coming from Buenos Aires Argentina scheduled to land here in New York JFK at 6:10 this morning, so since computer still showed we were leaving on time I went ahead and got ready. All ready to go, now to see about a ride to the airport.
First cab company, no drivers, noway anyone going to the airport from here(Long Beach). Second cab company says to call back in 15 mins , he might have someone. Third cab company says they just were not driving.
Ok, now what, pulled up the Long Island Railrod website, trains are running on schedule, ok that’s a good sign, maybe I’ll just wake up one of the other pilots here in the crash pad and have them drive me to the train station, it’s only a 5 minute drive.
Checked again to see if the flight got in from Argentina, my plane, yep made it in at 6:18 ok another good sign, at least they are flying to Kennedy. Checked my flight to London and now it shows canceled. I made a call to crew schedule, yep trip is canceled, they are dropping like domino’s, that’s good I told him, nobody wants to drive me to the airport as I told him while he sits in Dallas.
So I will just stay here in my crashpad watching the snow blow by at 40 to 50 miles an hour as the snow covers the beach. It is pretty cool seeing the beach all covered in a white blanket.
