I know but I didn’t see it yet I went to sleep and woke up for a little bit to see if it arrived but no arrival scan yet
You may not see it. Last year we did not see it. Or you may.

Update: Looks like you did. Contratz!

My wife is part of the 4:50 crew and I am with the 6:05 crew. I already fastened the seat belt
Today is our day! The final day in China. Make sure you get plenty of rest because we will be up in the air non-stop in the upcoming days.

Weren't you among the last a year ago? Bad karma?
Correct! Last year I was on the last crew too. There was a delay of 4 days. It was horrendous. Bad Karma? I don't know but history is definitely repeating itself this year. Not sure why this is happening every year now, haha! See attached :/

The traveling from China (CGO) to Anchorage, Alaska (PANC) continues for 04:50 and 06:05 Crew
September 21, 2021

It is currently 12:00 AM in Las Vegas, Nevada and I’m off to bed soon. Today was a good day and a bad day good. We got to see a lot today. It was definitely stressful. Desperation was setting in. People were worried. Part of a small crew left the 04:50 and 06:05 crew behind in Zhangzhou, China. I was very happy when they finally got their “Departure Scan”. It was at that time they were destined to leave China. Some of you folks also took a different route this year as well. This year is very weird since we are leaving in different batches. Some also reported a different scanning time.

I strongly believe the 04:50 and 06:05 crew is still stuck in China. Tomorrow is the FINAL day. We are expecting to depart tomorrow. All of us! No more changes, no more speculation. There are only two days left and we have to make it to Louisville, Kentucky, ASAP.

04:50 and 06:05 Crew: Back on Saturday, Internal sources from Cargolux reported to me that there are three flights that are scheduled to be out. We saw Flight #9781 today and no one reported a departure scan. Therefore, we definitely have missed the first two flights. This was the biggest L we took. Now there is only one flight left. Flight # 9761. It is expected to depart at the hours of 00:05. This means Cargolux is expected to depart very late at night at 12:05 AM. PST today. That still gives Apple enough time to deliver the iPhones on Friday.

If we see an early departure scan tomorrow during the day. It is a confirmation Cargolux has been dropped by Apple as the main shipping supplier. (I personally don't believe that's the case).

I can promise one thing to you. Tomorrow is our day. Tomorrow 99% of us will be seeing a DEPARTURE SCAN. I am expecting to see a lot of activity, scanning, and movement. We are definitely on the expediated route now.

Congratulations to all who have made it to Louisville, Kentucky. You guys passed the Northern Pacific Ocean, Anchorage, Alaska, and Made it to Lousiville, Kentucky in just one day. You people will be hanging out there for 2 days until you see an “Import Scan” following up with a “Destination Scan”. So, wait for us until we arrive and reunite with you all. It will be the last time to see you there before we all take different routes to come home. Sadly, some of you will already take off before 04:50 and 06:05 crew makes it to Lousiville, Kentucky on Thursday. This happened last year.

06:05 Crew is the last reported crew. We are the last ones to leave China behind. Just a few more days and everything will be settled.

Lastly, It is a possibility we may be a victim of delayed scanning. Will find out early in the morning if any scanning comes into play since there are flight that is on air right now.

Have a wonderful day today. Hope to see many of you reporting a “Departure Scan” today. May the force be with you and the world is all yours.

What does your scan show now. Where are you? We are still stuck in China 🤦‍♀️
good morning! What, really? I think I should be landing in ANC in about 15 mins if I have my planes right. Either that or landed already and a delayed scan is coming.
