I just hope that someone, somewhere at EWR has put a few parts aside for AS flights there. Back on 12/11, I had a very odd experience with a flight delayed, then cancelled, then back on a few hours later all due to a small, failed part that American had spares of at the airport but wouldn't let Alaska have (or so the AS personnel told me). It was very, very, very delayed.

Don't want to repeat that this Tuesday-Thursday, when I take the AS EWR flight again.
