Technical Issue Day - 9

John writes in on the text line, "Did all these guys think the game was going to be a 1:00 PM Pacific Time start? Why the hell did they book such an early return flight?" They, apparently...

I, I don't know what it's like at the Portland Airport.

I don't know what kind of departing flights they got.

I don't know what the connections are, are like or whatever.

But, like, coming back from the West Coast to avoid getting back to Omaha or Lincoln super-duper late, you have to leave pretty early.

Yeah.

[laughs] Like you...

In, in my experience, that's been the case.

It is generally a thing to me that returning to Omaha on a Sunday, the most expensive flights will be the ones that get in the latest.

Yep.

Or the cheapest flight will be the one that gets in at, like, midnight.

Also, you do...

I, I mean, if, especially if you're on a work trip, you wanna get back-

Right

... as soon as you poss- humanly-

Right

... possible can.

Like, I will wake up at, at 3:00 in the morning to get on the 5:00 AM flight or 6:00 AM flight simply because I want to get back home as early as I can.

Right.

And there's the time difference, and so you're gonna be screwed either way.

Like, you know, your 6:00 AM flight probably won't get you back home until, like, 2:00 in the afternoon, and that's already a bummer.

Yeah.

And having been on many of those trips, there's nothing for you to stick around for on a Sunday, so you just wanna get out as it is-

Just go

... anyways.
