Posting on behalf of a colleague of mine, and don't know at the moment what their AAdvantage status is, if any. Will update this post as I get more info.
Date: 4/24/2017
AAdvantage status: Unknown
Fare class: G or Y (government fare)
What happened: Original routing was LBB-PHX-HNL. LBB-PHX delayed several hours due to mechanical which would have caused misconnect in PHX, rerouted to LBB-DFW-LAX-HNL. Eventually arrived LAX an hour late, then the same aircraft which was scheduled to continue LAX-HNL as AA 109 went mechanical. AA attempted to schedule a late night 230am departure on another aircraft but that fell through due to crew rest timeout. Currently AA 109 is showing 900am departure on 4/25 with an estimated 1133am arrival, which would be approximate 18 hour delay compared to original routing. AA is attempting to find hotel rooms for the stranded passengers at LAX, unsure if they have all been accommodated.
Compensation: Unknown at this time, will post when known
Comments: Any opinions on what would be reasonable compensation for this? AFAIK all of these problems have been mechanical or crew rest, none were due to weather anywhere.
