This might also be pretty horrible for the crew, I guess. Hadn't considered that before.
one of the FA's told me their duty time would end when the last passenger left the plane. I would presume they close to 22 hrs of pay

The big inconvenience is arriving there at least a day after original scheduled arrival and that’s assuming when they land in EWR they don’t have to clear immigration re-check bags and await a new flight to get them to HKG.

i got a call from UA today. My compensation is a $500 travel certificate and a full refund.
