The 764 5 hour delay wasn't mechanical. It was due to poor ops at SFO. I don't know the specifics why, but the plane landed and was delayed while pulling in to the gate. I suppose it could've been a jet bridge issue.
Anyway that only caused a slight delay. It ballooned to 5 hours when the first officer timed out as we were queued to take off. They had to fly in a new crew from LAS.
