Probably shipping them all our money and if there's any room left over they load up common sense energy and foreign policies until they can barely get the doors shut.

Do you recall the UPS 747 that caught fire and crashed there? I don't know all the details, but I do know there were a whole lot of those NiCad batteries on board as cargo, you know, the same type that the 787 uses...

Now, I know none of anything is actually manufactured in DXB, but it is a shipping hub from China and India to the USA.

It's Lithium Ion batteries.

Thanks, I knew I had it wrong, same thing only different!

I blame the Torpedos!

(What else would you expect on a Sunday afternoon after sailing and drinking??)

I can't spell Lithyum anyway.

You will still have to buy a "tax ticket" to Jumpseat on DL internationally to certain locations... Once you do that, then they will be able to list you on the flight. CASS is not recognized for the FD or anything for this flight - just show up early to the ticket counter in ATL (once you get there) and let them know what you want to do. From there, they will be able to take care of everything.
