So, in short, I donno...
You know, at this point I would be happy if this were the plane, just to figure it out.
Unfortunately, I'm certain this wasn't it: I myself arrived on AA1039 only 3 minutes prior to the UPS flight's departure. It took me a while to deplane, collect my bag, car, etc...
This is going to drive me nutz.
