Stuck in Dallas

Today wasn’t a great day. I turned in my jumpseat request before noon as I was supposed to. Heard rumors about not being able to go. All the interns were supposed to go see Lisa in the afternoon. She gave us our jumpseat authorization paperwork but said only 2 of the background checks were finished. Mine is not one, so I’m stuck at DFW this weekend. Not only do I not get to fly before my CFI checkride, but I can’t visit Alison this weekend either. As I got home, she called right away. It’s not like I could hide the bad news, she’d find out eventually so I told her I couldn’t make it there this weekend. It does suck that I haven’t gotten to see her much in the last month.
