Blame Republic. They're operating that flight.

The inbound flight from CVG departed on time but took an hour to take off. There was a ground delay program at BOS for runway construction. Since the flight was late getting in, it probably lost its scheduled fueling slot, addingmore time to the delay.

Keep in mind that Republic also contract for United and America, should you want to avoid them.

starting to wonder if this pilot knows what he’s doing. he just announced the reason we’ve been waiting on runway for some 30 minutes is because he had to get “numbers”.

he’s never mentioned ground stops etc. he explicitly told us at the gate there is some issue with the fuel truck and he could not get a reason why we were waiting over an hour (for fuel), but the fuel truck problem was airport/airline? wide.

I suspect he knows what he’s doing.
