Today's Newark flight to Honolulu diverted to SFO, then SFO leg to HNL cancelled. Reason? MX...

LAX-SFO UA 460 on 3/13
May I ask if someone knows why this flight was delayed?
It seems like the incoming flight was 1h43 minutes late UA 744 from DEN. Weather in DEN seems fine, and incoming flight to DEN was only late by about 30 minutes.
I think I saw on the agents screen that it was MX, but he said weather.
Cheers!

Was on (UA497 ewr-sfo). As you may have heard, one of the pilots announced on the PA that the missing pilot was put on the schedule last night, but was somehow not notified. *facepalm*
Missed my connection in SFO of course.

has anyone been experiencing massive delays flying into EWR in the past month?
My Thursday flights to EWR has never been on time or generally cancelled.

EWR has had some recent weather issues but systemwide numbers delays and cancellation have been pretty stable (and pretty consistent with competition) for awhile.

UX into EWR (specifically Commutair) is by far the least reliable. Going back through my notes, I am less than 40% on time, with most of the 60% cancelled for mx, or delayed 4+ hours for mx. I have had far better luck on ERJ and CRJ going in and out of EWR... avoid Commutair (Q200/300) aircraft at all cost, even if it means flying into a nearby airport to get on a CRJ/ERJ. I will fly into SYR instead of ITH from now on for exactly this reason.

Last night's 4571 hasn't left ORD yet (and neither have I). Boarded on time, then got notified they had a maintaince issue they were needing to fix and it would be a little while, followed 30 minutes later by an announcement that they needed a part and the flight would be delayed until 9:30am this morning.
Waited at the gate for food and hotel voucher (lucky I got the O'Hare Hilton so only had to walk a little, others got off site hotels). Back here this morning, wander over to the gate at 9, to be notified the departure has been pushed back till 11am.
The question is, how many more times will they push it back or will they just cancel. I'll put money on either of those outcomes before I'd bet that we leave at 11am.
Edit: Still in ORD, delay at 13 hours and counting.

Not a specific delay, but I just learned SFO is paving 28L and will have it shut down every weekend until June (from 1800 Friday to 1200 Monday). That means they're down to single acceptance on 28R and expect delays (have already been seeing them) as if it were foggy due to the GDP.

It is unfortunate that the work has to continue into Monday mornings, at the peak time. But I suppose it has to do with concrete setting or something like that.

Anyone think there's likely to be problems flying out of EWR on Thursday? Forecast is showing 100% chance of rain and thunderstorms. Today turned out to be less bad than forecasted, but still caused decent delays.

I am trying to fly to ORD and was surprised to see the 8AM departure delayed until 9AM due to ATC. It is a 777, which I thought would be at the top of the priority list.
Seems to be ORD issue though. From FAA site:
Due to WEATHER / WIND, there is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving Chicago OHare International Airport, Chicago, IL (ORD). This is causing some arriving flights to be delayed an average of 4 hours and 10 minutes. To see if you may be affected, select your departure airport and check "Delays by Destination".
Must be some wicked wind in Chicago.
