I regret I did not make it clear that this is not today.
It's a drill for [a very likely scenario in] the future.
(Which also assumed that the next available routing was the next day.)
My sincere apologies.

Thanks --
I guess my confusion was since it was TPA-DAL that actually had the hazard (such as weather) and delayed the DAL-PHX flight, would the hazard "carry over" to the delayed DAL-PHX flight.
But as you note, I think it really depends on getting the most bulletproof documentation from Southwest, even if the weather and jets were fine in DAL (and PHX).

True!
Happened to me about 6 weeks ago in LAS when the inbound jet from BOI was gonna be something like 3 or 4 hours late.
The reserve cabin crew seemed pretty happy to be going to LAX on a Friday night.

That's really the key.
Thank you very much.
