(update, Thursday, January 28 - 8.55 a.m.)
Just talked with Dave Desmasais, who is at JFK after a JetBlue flight from Orlando. When Dave stepped out of the Air Force C17 military transport, he was greeted by a line of TSA employees. "It was as if we were returning from Iraq," he said. One of the TSA guys grabbed his bag and walked him to the terminal. Once again, JetBlue pulls though. They were extremely gracious in switching his flight from Santa Domingo to an Orlando flight to JFK. 


Dave and I have scheduled a long debrief tomorrow at his home in Bristol. I'm sure we'll become more efficient and capable once we learn what Dave has to tell us about what works, what doesn't, and what is most needed. 


Gus got a call from Jim Doucette at 6.10 a.m. No cell contact now so they're between the border & PaP. Ann Giuli texted to say she's excited to meet Team 2.
