Was the DHs inbound flight to ORD late? Could be why they were late to the gate. I have had a scheduled DH and the flight I was operating got to the gate late. My crew were the last people to get on the DH aircraft. Gate agent had already given our seats to non revs. There were still open seats and she re sat us.
Do we know why the DH crew was late to the gate?
