Looking at flight status on some of the delayed EWR-LAX/SFO flights, it appears UA may be prepping to send them to IAH (possibly via a similar routing over the Atlantic to the southeast?). Unclear if the planes will then continue to LAX/SFO or if this is just a way to shuttle people to a non-impacted hub.
Looks like both 2226 and 2403 (EWR-LAX) are going via IAH quite late. The planes definitely have the range for a much longer routing so I'm guessing the IAH stop is for crew change possibly.
Also looks like they're routing some EWR-DEN flights via....ATL?! Doubt it's a range issue because it's a 739, but...
They're still trying to get 1357 out nonstop 2.5 hours late at 18:00 but I wouldnt could on it...
