We are flying to Iceland and doing a couple days around Reykjavik and then getting on cruise up to Svalbard and then down the Norway fjords to Copenhagen. Packing is going to be a *****….
We are headed out to Iceland at the end of this month from EWR. It is a late night flight, so hoping that will help us. Sounds like the runway issues should be resolved before your July flight.

I agree, and how do you determine whether someone got preference?
My point of all this is raising DEI(and someone being hire/whatever over better qualified peers due to it) everytime a non white male is involved in something is ridiculous, but suits those who are trying to make point quite...
The problem here is how quantifiable the definition of qualified is. In most cases qualification is a combination of factors, some quantifiable and some not(think about hiring/promotion decisions, there is no purely analytical process for hiring someone). Now the military tends be be more...
Zap,
From what I have seen this wasn't necessarily a training flight, but a transport flight. The callsign used by the Blackhawk was PAT25 and PAT stands for Priority Air Transport which refers to military VIP flights by the 12th aviation battalion out of Ft Belvior. I believe the flight...
