That's not what I'm seeing in the data - I see temperatures in the 90s-100s on the 6th, 7th, and the 8th - what is the plan for this flight today the 8th? The weather is pretty much the same
Whether it's 90 or 100, at SNA you can't fly out fully loaded regardless - so a plan to deal with the extremely hot weather should have been in place prior to this week
