However I will say that I’m more than happy to wait and not take an aircraft that’s DOA!
edit: will try to post photo of AC229 flight status from EF when I am on a device that FT accepts for uploads unless someone else wants to.

Oh, wait ... it can mean assistant chief too. Now I get it.

If someone makes a somewhat cryptic post that relies on obscure acronyms to make a point, I don't think it is incumbent on readers to spend time researching what s/he means. (This is not a criticism of the OP.)

It's not anyone's job here to teach others what the acronyms are.

I doubt literally DOA. Snarky ops guy is snarky.
The inbound had some mechanical issues. Not enough to inherently cause delay on the inbound flight, or an emergency response, but enough they knew that that aircraft wouldn't be flying out on the schedule flight.
