I think it was the "way" I used the marker I've been using "message URL" to make the jump
Instead, on a "Hail Mary Pass", I used this: openlink //jetblue.com/Docs/Manuals/jbdocs/MANUAL SUPPLEMENTS/Onboard Delay Escalation Policy (ODEP).pdf notice how it now reads "openlink" to make the jump.... .....and it works!.....what a lesson I learned today Thank you to all who offered their assistance!
