Beyond that, where did the previously assigned plane go? Is it possible that the company needed it to help a different flight that was more significantly impacted?

Of those, how many could be easily accommodated on later connections or reroutes versus other options for the aircraft swap?
I can promise you that the decision wasn't made just to piss you off.
Flying from west coast to east coast, noon-1pm is the last departure option to make a connection back to Florida - so yes, because I had no other option. I am not taking a short hop redeye, sorry.
The inbound from CUN is
#3249 , but I can't see where it went after arriving at 1045PM last night - and if it was needed for something else, or went mechanical overnight or early this morning, there was certainly time to find another aircraft to lessen the delay on the outbound to IAH. How many are connecting? I have no idea, but given it's a flight to a hub, I would assume quite a few.
