Delayed already (on a long layover) what do you think
Hi, all. We started off in Shannon, Ireland today so I don’t really know what happened but we are in JFK terminal 5 and there are a bunch of delayed flights.
We have been sitting here, exhausted a few hours into a nearly 7 hour layover. Personally, I wouldn’t mind going to the TWA hotel and going to bed.
Does anyone have a guess on the likelihood that the flight crew will have to time out on this? Thanks for any thoughts. This is an aer lingus jet blue code share.

No one on here can tell you (unless they work in B6 ops) — IMO the fact that they're delaying the flight by an hour instead of cancelling / delaying overnight means they think they have a crew that can fly it. Could try asking the gate agent at the gate in an hour or so when they show up if there's a crew assigned (which they should be able to see), although not sure if they know anything about duty hours either.
it’s under an hour delayed now so I guess the pilot is hauling butt. I’m going to try and rally and make the flight.
The people at the gate where I’m sitting— JFK to MCO just applauded their pilot who just showed up. I think they have been delayed 2 hours.

Ok well seek an ye shall find I guess. We just walked to the new gate and the two pilots are sitting here with us lol. I assume they are our pilots and not pilots flying elsewhere. Idk. They are both on the phone so I’m not asking.
Edited: our gate just changed again so I guess they aren’t our pilots.
edited again, 5 gate changes but it looks like we will board after they clean and cater the plane

Got home after 2am, after being awake for about 24 hours. I’ve been sleeping all day.
The flight was non eventful. The staff were tired but friendly and professional. The plane was very nice. I’m glad we didn’t delay until today because we had a long period of severe weather this morning.
thanks.
