Now approaching a 2 hr delay...
Finally took off just after 1:00AM CST. OOPS, looks like the turn around at LAX to go back to DFW on Saturday Early AM for AA2404 is now delayed by 1hr 45min. Hopefully folks doing a mileage run don't get goofed up with this. You'd think they would have a spare 'something' at LAX late at night to get the flight out.
