Yes, I've flown into both Intercontinental and Hobby. My comment about "slots" means time slots for the aircraft to land and take off, not a phisical space issue at the airport(s). I really don't know how many additional flight operations the airports could accomodate safely. There would have to be a lot of additional flights for 150-200 souls to make much of a dent in evacuating two plus million people. Just conjecture on my part, though.
The other stuff is interesting. I suppose you can't leave too early, but it does seem there were several days notice before the majority of folks pulled up stakes. I don't suppose there's any way around that, though. People do have jobs, family and property to deal with. I do know my pal with CBS has been planning logistics for several days.
We'll see you in the huddle next week when we all have the chance to "Monday Morning Quarterback" the whole "exercise" as the VP would call it.
