The kids are grown now, but that 8-6 at WU sounds really tough. I assume they fly you to your plane on day one. Are they pretty good at getting you home on day 8?
Yes. If you end up having travel issues, it just means you’re getting paid for your delays getting home day 8 or 9. The extra money is well worth the time.
