Am sooooo sorry! Am sure he has been on the phone w/ the airline and by now has a new plan worked out. The cadets are pretty good at figuring this out!
He could not get through to a person at the airline last night. I am sure everyone on Delta was calling them. The hopeful news is that around 11 pm last night another cadet from Washington told him about his flight which takes off at 4:30 out of Newark. It was still scheduled to leave and had seats. I booked him on it hoping the storm will hold off long enough for them to takeoff. Got a call about an hour ago, they were in NYC about to catch the train to Newark and it was not snowing in NYC yet. I checked on his flight and it isn't cancelled yet. Now we wait and pray.
Worst case is he will be camping in Newark until tomorrow or Monday.
