I read an FB account of what happened from one of the fa's working the flight.(I am a FA) Apparently the Capt got her van time mixed up & thats why she showed up late to the plane in civvies, asked the crew over the PA if they wanted her to change or just go as is & leave on time. The FO was doing his duties in the pit & didn't hear the pa's & a pass riding pilot went up front & got on the horn to ops. A replacement pilot was flown up from IAH, resulting in a 2 hr delay.
thanks for the further detail. I had wondered where FO was, but this explains it. Again, I see nothing that UA did wrong here. Again, I feel sorry for the pilot and hope she gets the help she needs.
