Wow! I have a friend that is leaving to come to NYC on Thursday thru Christmas. I just told her and she is flipping out since they have never been to NYC. They have a friend there they are staying with. I would imagine that she will have a hard time getting a cab from the airport? Any suggestions for her Tommy if they don't settle this?

yeah, it's superfun. i'm lucky in that my office is letting us all work from home - i could make the walk in probably a little under an hour, but the wind chills are *crazy* - they say that tomorrow morning it'll be able to give you frostbite in half an hour. i'm still planning on walking across the city tonight (67th & 1st to 44th & 10th)... not sure if i'm walking home or taking a cab. if it's possible to even get a cab.

Hi Tommy!
So crappy! I hope for all of your sakes that they work it out soon! I can't immagine where a strike like that would put DC! I thought I remembered reading though that NY subway ran on a surplus. Does it? DC subway runs consistently on deficits and I know our fairs are higher than yours. I think more people ride in NY though - meaning that things are probably all the more crummy for everyone trying to get to work - and more importantly back home - today! I'll be thinking about you when I see news on this!
Mindy
PS - to add my support - glad you stuck around on the boards - I'd have missed you!

There is a surplus but there will be substantial deficits in the years to come. These deficits can be attributed to high pension and healthcare costs. Pension and healthcare costs are a main reason why US auto makers and airlines are going bankrupt.
Thanks for the kind words Mindy. I don't think I could ever leave the boards since this is where I found the love of my life!

She should be able to get a cab. What time will she be getting into the airport? I am actually flying Friday morning to go see Tina. I already have my cab reservation for 6am on Friday. But, I think she should be ok but she should anticipate a long line for a cab and heavy traffic if she is staying in Manhattan.
