seems to me that they are thinking to fly FAR-DEN-FAR with the original bird in reverse order (essentially they're going to do 6084 backwards of how it would normally be done with a bird that's already in Fargo, and delay both the FAR-DEN and DEN-FAR on account of it).
6084 should be DEN-FAR-DEN, seems like they're going to fly it FAR-DEN-FAR
what happens to 6184 is anyone's guess at this point, but i would set up some flight alerts and watch the "where's this bird coming from" for possible tail number updates.
sometimes having all the information isn't as much of a blessing as we think (posted while sitting in the LH lounge, expecting my flight to EU tonight to be oversold, and it's now suddenly Y4
)
Thanks for that insight. I was thinking that may be the case as well, though even there they're under posting the delay that would happen for the DEN-FAR (currently stated at 3 hours -- with an on-time departure from FAR, it would likely be closer to 5 hours).
Since it's operated by ExpressJet, I'm not sure whether they even have a spare plane to sub on the DEN-MSN leg. I'll keep checking the status and keep my fingers crossed that they do.
