If you go back a bunch of pages, a number of people went from arrived at ZhengZhou to arrived in Korea without a departure. If that were to occur again, there's 2 from ICN to ANC, one's in ~2 hours and again in 12 hours. UPS89 or 99... unless they are going some other charter or way, all speculation.
Yes, I did go back to around page 40 of 92 in this thread, just to check on those from the earliest group that got theirs on May 21. It seems that they arrived in Zhengzhou on Friday, May 14, at 8:00 in a big group. They sat all weekend, and then a good portion of them left between 4-6 PM China time Monday, to arrive in Korea a few hours later. From there, they went to Alaska. I couldn’t find the ones that you mentioned with a missing departure scan.
There were a few others that sat in Zhengzhou for a couple of days longer, but as far as I can tell, everyone still got them by Friday, the 21st. I wasn’t able to find any that went directly from Zhengzhou to Alaska.
I can’t see our group making the first flight that you mentioned, but there’s still the possibility of the second flight.
If we‘re to see our iPads by Wednesday for some and Thursday for mine in Eastern Canada, I think it’s critical that we get on a flight today. If we don’t get one until tomorrow, there simply isn’t enough time.
I think that we’re all part of one big pallet, and that’s why our tracking times are so similar. As someone said earlier in this thread, that pallet doesn’t get broken down until it reaches Louisville.
As you say, everything is speculation at this point.
