I listed to the LiveATC recording. It's a Medivac issue.
The continuation IAD-SFO has been pushed back to a 8:15 PM departure (was 5:55 pm) and a 10:59 pm arrival in SFO (was 8:19 pm).
Assuming it doesn't get any later, will the flight crew have sufficient rest time to operate the next morning's 8:30 am SFO-IAD?
Or should I switch to the redeye tonight?

Is the minimum rest period 9 hours gate-in to push-back time? Or 9 hours from when the crew leaves the airport to when they show up the next morning at the airport?

I'm worrying, because I've keeping track of this flight for 3 weeks now (due to a short connection in IAD to IAD-ATH), and I think at least once, I've seen the outbound 8:30 am SFO-IAD delayed with the delay reason in the United App stated as insufficient rest period for the crew due to late arrival the previous night. So ATH-IAD is not the same crew as IAD-SFO, but at least some of the time it's the same crew for IAD-SFO as the next morning's SFO-IAD.

Im looking at the pairing now, the F/A crew originates in SFO and the pilots come in elsewhere that is not IAD.

The continuation flight IAD-SFO UA2435 (and the inbound for my SFO-IAD) just got pushed to tomorrow morning.
So my SFO-IAD UA1986 tomorrow morning is likely going to be severely delayed, and I will most likely miss my IAD-ATH. What are my options?
edit:
Oh they reassigned us to a 787-9 inbound from Delhi, which means my CPU got cleared.
Phew.
What a stressful evening.
