TC,

I know you speak from experience...but the question is, are you joining the chain gang on the flight??? As you well know you are an honorary member....

Hi Tumbleweed,

We will more than likely make it yes, but being such a long trip and that with a 503 we prefer to have the mindset set of rather too much than too little....
