Do you honestly think the group at EAL woke up that morning to come up with a plan to inconvenience the Rays?

Last time I flew charters to Havana some 12 years ago... Permits did not come so quickly. Not like arranging a flight from KMIA to KLAX with terminal operations arranged at the last moment. Perhaps someone can chime in as to the time it takes to get immigration, customs, flight and landing, parking, and handling rights into Havana..

They've come a long way, indeed.
In its last days (I'm reliably told), old Eastern would re-paint the left side of the aircraft, since that was the side facing the terminal in pre-Jetway days, and get around to the right side later on.
