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.
I don't believe I have ever had a DL flight that was moved up for an earlier departure that didn't leave later than the original departure time.
