Flying out Friday so hoping this pattern doesn't extend out further.
Last night's 48 was delayed because the outbound 49 was delayed and crew timed out, so had to be re-planned for today (1800 local, ZBLA). Today's normal 49 outbound (switched to ZBKI) will operate last night's delayed 48 back tonight. The reason Monday's delayed 49 out (ZBLA) cannot immediately turn around tonight is because a new pilot needed to be flown out today, so they will have to rest overnight. So the current plan is that there will be two returning tomorrow, Wednesday (not Thursday). So two non related delays just getting very complicated, neither of which should affect your flight on Friday because the single B789 rotation gives the days break required on the B78X rotations to allow ZBLB to take over SEA runs. Phew...
