Did the travel value of the RV-10's we are building just go up? Look what I
got from Delta:
"As you may know, federal authorities have issued new security procedures
that may impact any upcoming travel.
"As a result, you could experience delays at the airport. Please remember to
pack lightly, travel with little or no carry on baggage (due to the
potential screening delays at the security checkpoints) and arrive
approximately three hours prior to your scheduled take-off time. "
Let's see, that's 30-60 mins to get to the airport. 3 hours once there. So
maybe 4 hours. Once at the other side of the trip I have to do this all
over again? That's 8 hours before wheels even get off the ground? Plus, at
least for business trips, I don't get to haul my toothpaste and after shave
with me? Or get to carry on my lunch with a bottle of water (stopped
yesterday from carrying on a smoothie; talk about brain freeze slurping that
down as fast as I could before boarding!).
They gotta do what they gotta do, but I'll sure be glad to fly myself, if
they'll even continue to let me do that. The small jet market must love
this latest event. Jet taxi, anyone?
