question about delay due to "flight crew availability"
Quick question, everyone. I am in Amsterdam with friends. Tomorrow they are scheduled to fly UA 908 AMS to ORD using my award miles. The flight is scheduled for 10:55am, but today I received an email informing me that the flight is now scheduled for departure at 12:18pm due to "flight crew availability".

I have to drive them to the airport and it would be far more convenient for me to not leave the hotel until 9am (30 minute drive to the airport). Is it safe to assume that the plane really won't go until then? Or do we need to treat it as if the plane could go at 10:55 and if they just have to sit the extra 1.5 hours that's how it is?
