yeah but the inbound (to EWR) was on time and all other departures to EMEA were on time. Like —- in general stuff wasn’t delayed that day. They showed UA 30 (EWR-MUC) “departed the gate” on time and didn’t take off for 5 hours.

that ain’t weather

Last thought and this is where I need some help. Even if— for whatever reason they say UA30 ewr-muc was delayed by weather my understanding is delay of the inbound is never a valid excuse for United in a case like this.

Is that correct??

cause the actual flight in question UA31 there was no weather.

Thanks
