We are scheduled to return late in the evening of 12/1/2025. With the ongoing flight issues and delays, I am concerned that I will not be back in Phoenix. My flight has already been changed once and I do not want to do the hearing from an airport.

I appreciate your consideration on this in lieu of all the flight issues caused from the shutdown. Thank you George Warren
