Sorry, this was typed from my phone. I also, stick to my guns on this as I prefer to fly with a more experienced Mainline Pilot. Yes a pilot is a pilot, but I have more trust in a Mainline Pilot.
I'm sure the captain of this flight landed at Midnight the previous night and probably slept about 4 hours. The work rules are different for an Express Pilot.
Anyways, yes it was great that they admitted the issue. My first reaction was that it was the pilots fault, but it seems to be a maintenance issue? Not sure.

My apologies. I also just noticed that Delta is flying a CRJ900 with Wifi. Wow wifi on express flights!
