AA54/55 cancelled again! Not weather related. Looks like MAN at the top of the drop list for when (often) 787 fleet has tech issues.
Considering that ORD is really the last US departure of the day from MAN AT 13.15, how are AA dispersing the pax? Ironically, ORD has probably been the busiest of the 3 AA flights over the last couple of months and has been near full some days more recently.
I guess some could be shuttled down to London if there are seats available. There is a tea-time flight to ORD from LHR I believe, although many of the MAN pax would be flying on to other destinations from ORD so could be transferred onto JFK flights from LHR for example, of which there are plenty. If pax are simply told to come back the next day, that might explain why certain flights have been extra busy, but if the following day's flight is already busy, what then?
More disappointing though if MAN is top of the drop list.
