PROTIP: Your flight was de facto canceled and they're going to put off officially canceling it as long as possible.

My wife was flying through Charlotte two weeks ago. They got everyone on the flight early so that wasn't an issue. Then the gate departure time goes up and down a few times. It hit 1.5 hours as they were telling everyone that the pilots weren't there (i.e. AA fricked the pooch with crew scheduling). They deplane and it went from a 9:30pm departure to a 5am departure. Those pilots apologized and told everyone that after stopping them off they then had to fly the empty plane to Dallas so they could pick up where they belonged.

I love non-stop SW flights for this very reason.
