No one at TLH gave us any updates, no vouchers were offered. The plane sat at the jetway the entire time we were delayed. No maintenance seemed to being done. The flight left at the designated delay time...
Your inbound aircraft arrived late the previous night. Thus, your flight was delayed to allow the crew the required minimum rest period.

Thoughts from you FF's are most welcome about how you guys would deal with this.
My first call that morning would have been to DL to get on the 7AM flight. Barring success, my next call would be to AMEX travel to get a flight that worked and then a call back to DL for a refund, to which you were entitled given the delay was > 90 minutes.
