$300 ecert for a 7 hour delay MX, ORD-HNL. Not sure if this is low considering the delay length and 1K status. Apparently was in MX the entire day and realized they couldn't fix the steering on the nose wheel in time. The 2:00 AM delay notice (missed call) for a 10:30AM departure didn't help as I was fast asleep. Some folks were able to reroute but I stuck with it knowing i'd get the E-cert and getting some more time in ORD. Eventually got into HNL at almost 12AM.
