Maybe the DOT should look into this. Not my flight-but something I noticed. 5/13 ewr-gsp flight around 3pm. (Iirc-it was 309). The flight is delayed due to "latearriving aircraft" and the GA in EWR was unwilling to help. It was only delayed ~30 minutes. The killer was-the inbound was scheduled YOW(iirc) to LAND at 340pm.
Now-I am NOT an airline scheduler-but common sense states the plane can NOT take off before it LANDS!! THIS should be grounds for refunds to all pax. I have noticed this done MaNY times w/express jet flights out of ewr.
