Help with delay reason
The admirals club isn’t able to help. Needing to know what the issue is with 4950 out of FNT. Keeps delaying 10 minutes at a time. Plane made it there early and doesn’t appear to be any weather anywhere that could be the issue.

May want to look at the weather again. ORD is currently in a ground stop due to a storm that is passing through.

that is what the admirals club said as well. It had been sitting in FNT for over an hour. For those saying weather, that doesn’t make sense. The flight could have been here by now and there is no weather yet and it looks like a small band of weather on the way.

Their systems are separate, they have their own dispatchers. The only systems that may be shared (besides ticketing/passenger related ofc) are gating and ramp tower. At ORD, mainline runs the ramp tower (calling for push and start) and gating for mainline, Envoy handles gating for all regionals.
