Though when it rains hard SFO has difficulties loading bags and catering the aircraft. Maybe we should import MSP ground staff
Today's going to be a mess.

Except for the back-to-back redeye in Y. And the four hour delay on 396 which left HNL for SFO at 3 a.m. Going to try to help them through the compensation thread

Please post about the compensation offered. I expected a proactive email, but haven't received anything yet.
Maybe they are waiting to ensure I actually get home??? Lol

UA seems to be down an sCO 772 as well:
1/10 UA86 EWR-PVG 772 delayed 6 hours due to aircraft maintenance/late inbound
1/11 UA87 PVG-EWR 772 delayed 5 hours due to late inbound aircraft arrival
UA86 on 1/10 was originally scheduled for N78005 (which operated the IAH-NRT on 1/8 that diverted to DEN, on 1/9 they tried to ferry it to EWR but only made it as far as ORD and it now seems to be still stuck there), so had to wait for N37018 to get in as UA180 from HKG.

1/12 UA2 SIN-SFO delayed departure 3.5 hours "Delayed due to operational difficulties"
inbound (UA1) is going to arrive 30 minutes early. no idea why it's delayed.

I was on UA1, we got struck by lightning shortly after takeoff. On landing we had to park out at a stand, where they're gonna give the ship a thorough inspection.

Very interesting - so they were confident enough to continue the 15 hour flight right after takeoff. Was there any unusual maneuvering or "testing" that you noticed during the climb?
