Everyone that is except the cabin crew. Captain said "we just wanted to get you to MSP early today". Right and fat chance of that since we went mechanical on the taxiway, returned to the gate and finally departed at 7:30a. Adding to my wonderful day, DL has just cancelled my connecting flight, even though we are picking up time and are now scheduled to arrive MSP at T-30.
Haha! I too got the "Delta 3:30am wake up call" last month! I was flying at 6:00am LGA-MSP-GRB...and Delta automated voice called me at 3:00am and told me my MSP-GRB flight was delayed 15 minutes..

I have mixed feeligngs about this...part of me was pissed I was woken up at 3:00am...but the other part of me appreciated the effort....maybe if they could build some more logic into it...the 15 minute delay in MSP is of no concern to me...I just sit at MSP a little longer so why would they call? But if the 6:00AM flight out of LGA was delayed or canceled I think I would like the call..
