Arrived about 5 hours late from DCA. The 11am DCA-EWR arrived at 5:30pm. An 8 hour trip. Next time the train (only).

Only problem was the cockie attitude of the RJ pilot. Sat on tramac for 1.5 hours, back to gate, deplaned, then boarding was to start at 2:30pm. The later flight 12:40p boarded, our pilot had us wait. He assured us that we would leave before the 12:40p. Well, ATC gave the later flight our slot - so we arrived 1 hour later than the later flight. Everything else from DCA was cancelled for the day.

Got here but the train would have been the way to go.
