The only saving grace is apparently Delta acknowledged this as a mechanical and are putting her (and several other Richmond bound passengers at a hotel. My hope is it will be a decent property with a restaurant for dinner and breakfast. It seems to me Delta might consider increasing the gauge for these city pairs if they are running full or near full. I will try to encourage her to go to the gate and hope someone else no shows. Thanks for the quick responses.
