    UA 396 HNL-SFO on a 777 is delayed 15 hours and 15 minutes due to MX @ HNL. I don't get it...if the delay is that bad, why not just cancel the flight?

    .....and yeah, this would be common sense.

    Kinda wondering if that involved bringing in parts and crew from another destination. I doubt that there was a replacement plane in HNL. And by cancelling, wouldn't the Airline be responsible for lodging of the passengers?
    In HNL?

    That flight will end up being the non-rev shuttle to SFO with the current situation.
