Ah, well. As it stands, our flight is indefinitely cancelled. We’re sitting in the airport, waiting another 30 minutes for an update from our friendly gate agent, we’re weighing our options. What we’ve been told may happen:

• Flight delay - the plane (currently in El Paso) could delay until tomorrow morning. This is the safest option, because when it got here we’d board and head out for DFW. Once in Dallas, we can easily get to Austin.
• Trial attempt - this is the double or nothing choice. If they choose, they may gas up the plane and attempt to get here. If they choose this option and the plane can’t land, they’ll abort it back to Dallas and we’re screwed since there are no flights from here to Dallas on AA until the 4th.
• Cancellation - this just sucks.

UPDATE: Cancelled. Damn. Now we have to figure out what to do. We may rent a car and drive to El Paso. We may not. I’ll figure it out. More later.
