Won't matter...
They held a flight for an hour and a half to wait for me to DH to an outstation for a RR overnight...which then delayed the morning flight for 2 hours so I could get my rest. When reporting I was greeted in the lobby by a CA and FO...The FO was perfectly legal to operate the flight at the regularly scheduled time, but with the melt down apparently scheduling lost her, despite her talking to them 2 or 4 times throughout the day. Result 2 flights delayed a total of about 3 and a half hours.
