What's odd is that the flight that went out this morning (2074) didn't use the plane that came in from CDG yesterday (3130) but rather 3140, which was ferried up empty from IAD late last night. I wondered if the original plane had an mx problem, which delayed departure too far for the pilots (the web site shows the canceled continuation originally scheduled for 2AM this morning), but then they couldn't fix it and needed a new plane. Not particularly confidence inspiring...
