LinkWe're planning on going to St Croix the first week in August, so this is looking a little dicey to me. Hopefully they get it settled.

Rosemary--not for St Croix, no. The good thing, I guess, is that we are going to visit Eric's brother, who is living there now. So rescheduling accommodation would be easy. ![smile smile](/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) Just out the cost of our insurance, possibly. CaribLee--agreed. The thing is, it definitely will take a while from here to see if in fact they do strike, but the timing, if it does happen, seems to indicate around beginning of August. Scuba--I think you will be OK regardless, as they won't declare an impasse that soon, one would think.

Rosemary--No, as in H*ll no. I think there are other ways to get to STT from here other than Spirit, plus the ferry from STT to STX is something like two HOURS. Regardless, if AA goes on strike, we will just reschedule for another date, as trying to get air on anything else last minute would be horrendous. STX does not have nearly the volume of flights that SXM has, and it's not like the other USVI's, where ferries are very quick between them.

Have done it on a sea plane, a lot of years ago, guessing about 1977. What our country does not need right now is an airline strike of any kind. Flight attendant work hours rules are possibly the weirdest set up rules there are, they need to change.
I prefer the Isle seat

DavidMartha--sorry, not interested in a connecting flight. And I would seriously doubt Frontier. They have a big reputation for cancelling flights. We will see what happens, as time gets closer. Wendell--yeah, Eric might be interested in "the whale", but we'll see.
