The delay was posted 5 mins after the T15 min mark.
AA actually just responded to me and tried to claim my seat wasn’t actually given up until 2 mins before the scheduled departure… seems like after I called the agents out for giving up my seat at the 18 min mark they unassigned and reassigned it to CYA. Anyway, just more disappointment but what can you do when you’re held hub captive?!
