I hope they make it, but what is the deadline?

1700 is the deadline. FAA wants Thom at the Pilots meeting.

DEADLINE SCHMEDLINE...If RARA does not make an exception for them regarding a deadline they would be crazy...I know the rules should apply to everyone, but with the low entry list, the HUGE fan support for PM , the Herculean effort they had to make , and possibly mother nature being what holds PM up from making the deadline it would be ludicrous of them to not give PM a break.

Johnny, I agree that there should be a deadline but I think those guys have realized that the circumstances have been beyond our control. They have been good about extensions because of it. One problem was Thom was supposed to leave Tuesday so much of the crew had tickets to head out the end of the week, therefore it was a thrash without some of the key crew. A real "all hands" effort. I know it has been killing them not to be at the shop as it is killing us all not to be able to help now.

That ETA is based off a slow speed. My very rough estimate with no a counting for weather deviations or additional stops or slow downs Enroute: right around or just prior to 1700 local. Someone on the team can probably give a better time. The 1700 timeframe makes for great storytelling down the road though!

Based on the math, I guess I will be holding my breath for 1h30m

Brings to mind ANOTHER song (with all due pops to Paul McCartney)

"Someone's knockin' at the door.........

do me a favor; open the door and let 'em in"

Go TEAM PM!

Yes, the flight tracker does an estimated arrival based on current speed and track, and that "best case" has him there at 1641 currently. He just did a big S turn around a cell near the Arizona boarder it appears. Watching intently from Ohio.

listening to LIVEATC.net and heard "Mustang Six Whiskey Juliet" check in. His Griffon engine and noise sure makes his radio suck.
