Flight delayed due to crew rest?
Is it safe to trust a delay due to crew rest? I'm on aa126 on 1/1 and the 1:45 delay until 5:30pm means I would try to leave HKG instead of hanging out in the lounge.

3HKG/ETD1730 CRR-DELAY DUE TO CREW REST REQUIREMENTS *0452
2DFW/PRE1750 *0452

Can I assume this is caused by aa125 arriving about 8 hours late at 1:30am local time on 12/31? Is the scheduled 40 hours not enough rest time? AA won't be able to magically find another crew and have this flight leave closer to the scheduled time, right?
