I'm surprised to see the Antonov is waiting, chilling you might say.

I don't know the economics of it, but I would have guessed the Antonov would be kept busy with other jobs and come back for a pick up at a later date.
is it not possible that the Antonov is only waiting a couple of daylight hours for the dead engine to be loaded.

I wonder what the break even $$$ point is between waiting like a taxi vs having the dead engine stuck for weeks at that location waiting for another taxi to arrive ?
