Glad to have made your list! I can take GTS for both airports and will open up services at KMDW a little bit before departure times so that way I give myself enough cushion between sessions

Actually I just realized that this is the same day as @Jger Jackson Hole flyout and I already registered for GTS services for that. Is this event scheduled to start at 1PM EST?
yes but ima move it back at 11 so he can do it
11am CDT right? For the sake of avoiding confusion, just say all the times in CDT (I’m sure that’s already what you’ve been doing, but just so I know that we are all on the same page)
It should be saturday at 12pm CDT
Alright then you can put me down for GTS at both airports and I will try to make it all work out. Thanks for the clarification
