Christine had Reserve Drill this weekend near Denver, CO. She got reservations on Thursday for a flight to Denver for the next day and a return flight on Sunday (Super Bowl) night.
Her texts: 2:20pm - "They just released us early...but waiting for someone to take me to the airport...I'll let u know if they can put me on an earlier flight or not."
3:34pm - "So did u realize the return flight has me coming home Sunday MARCH 6th not Sunday February 6th. Hopefully this doesn't cost me $500. Might be going standby...hopefully that's not expensive & they have space."
3:54pm - "It's fixed...I'll call u when I get thru security & to my gate." (So this is what happened...because she was still in uniform, a very nice Delta lady changed her reservation for free, put her on an earlier flight, & didn't even charge her to check her bag. Then going through security a TSA agent sent her through the employee line so she didn't have to wait.)
Then...
6:21pm - "This airline lady just walked up to me & gave me a seat in first class for serving. I'm ready to cry!"
Her Reserve Unit is set to deploy about August 2012.

Nice! You did get it going! That is an awesome story about Chris! I think the men and women serving our country should always get that kind of treatment! We own them a lot!
