Had a brief conversation with Chris late last night, the were headed to the airport after some R&R at the hotel. Flight departure information was still a little sketchy at that time. United Airlines flight 9022 is in the air now, headed for Haiti and can be tracked via Flight Tracker (click here for tracking), scheduled arrival is 11 AM EST. When Chris has a spare moment she will try the satellite phone and check in but I imagine she will be busy upon arrival! She will not be able to update this directly as she has been, so I will post updates for now as I get them.
More photos from Tricia!
Tricia has been great about sending photos via her iPhone and she took a few photos while they were checking in at Chicago (ORD) for this flight. United has an area setup for all the relief workers there and has a grand welcoming on all their displays (photo 1) for the relief workers and it looks they are making it easy for them to check-in. She also captured a couple of photos of the team in the check-in line as well as a crew of Water Filtration Specialists that are en-route with them on this flight it seems (photo 4).
The final picture that Tricia sent before departure shows ChrisP and Chris (as my Chris is known by the crew, since Chris Gonzales started in the Kaiser Emergency Department before Chris did, he added the P for Pauley and now they call here "cripsy") getting ready for take-off in FIRST CLASS! Not sure how that happened but I'm guessing everyone was happy getting that treatment!
More to come as soon as I hear details.
