AA 403 mess in philly PHL - waited for pax, crew timed out (to merge)
Flight 403. Philly to Pittsburgh. Ordered on time, then got a text message that flight was delayed 25 minutes. Captain explained that hops decided to hold the flight for late arriving passengers. Passengers arrived, close the door, then nothing. Now we’re told that the ground crew timed out and left and they’re trying to find a new crew to push us back from the gate. Another night in paradise

Not really a big deal. It's not like people are going PIT to make a connection

And UNIONS (especially in Philadelphia) rear their ugly heads (again). "My shift is over. Customers are management's problem."
