Write to DL and they will throw you Skymiles. My guess is 25K for DM in DeltaOne.
Now *that* is definitely super-duper delayed. Apparently when the low oil indicator illuminated during take off, the computer automatically activated the brakes and reverse thrusters. As a result, we need a new brake pad. According to the FA, this also created a problem in the crew rest area, so that part is unusable. There are, however, plenty of J seats open, and I suspect that the crew will sleep in these seats. There's also a guy who wants to get off the plane, which, unfortunately isn't easy, especially in China.
We're still on the ground and ten minutes from the updated departure time. (Sadly, I don't think we're going to be leaving st 9:00 PM.)
