Hey - check out this post on WRAL (in their Golo comments section under the story that says Raleigh-Durham is now going to get just all rain overnight tonight)
(not so in other parts of the state - read this)
“My son and 4 other kids with Job Corps has been at the Asheville Airport since 5am today and are stranded. The restaurants in the airport have no food,US Air refuses to take these young folks to a hotel and no one can get to the airport from Occonaluftee to take these kids back to the center. I’ve called repeatedly to US Air and can’t talk to a live person. I’ve called Airport Authority and they don’t answer. With the price of airfares, this is outrageous! Job Corps spends millions of dollars to fly these young people back and forth while they are in this program and the airlines should be more appreciative!”
I have some comments - but I’ll wait to see how others respond who might read this little ditty...
Oconaluftee? Those kids are Cherokee, from the reservation.
US Air might want to wake up, the “r” word is about to rear it’s ugly head.
