So when I try to get to work on an Endeavor flight DBA Delta Connect and there's some Endeavor guy with his 4 kids and wife taking the last 5 seats (he gets the jump, natch...) how is this different than me trying to get to work when he wants a fam vacay to wherevah?

Maybe they changed plans or aircraft. Was scheduled out at 4 pm as 9930.

By the way, all WO regional pilots have the same priority as a 30 year old AA guy on a AA flight based only on time of check in, not date of hire.

Avherald confirms that it was an engine fire and then a subsequent evac. (I'm very curious as to what would cause that quick of a return and then evacuating when on the runway... fire didn't go out??). They only spent 7ish minutes in the air.

The affected ship hasn't left nor is scheduled to leave yet.

Actually it was the right aircraft. They however canceled 55 today and equipment subbed that aircraft to 9930. Sounds like 3358 did not meet its ready time. Seems odd they canceled 55 and not the extra section but perhaps they prioritized getting the people home off the canceled flight.

And somehow an Endeavor family that's not retired is different than a DL guy who put 30 years in? Yeah.

Like I said above...Awesome story, bro.
