And your point, if they do? Did they have the part?
Also, just heard on local news "officials" say it hit some birds, AND there was some damage to the fuselage. So, they probably couldn't just replace the cone and go!
And 5 hours IS remarkable actually. You have to think they had to get the new airplane from somewhere, AND a crew to get it there on short notice!!!

Now that is one of the funniest things I have read in a while. Truly sad, but so funny.

I heard the nose cone caved in at M 1.4 right after Iceman rolled in on a Midwest flight knocking down Senator Obama's MD80.
Don't tangle with a 757, or a Northwest Crew, on the way to a Florida destination.
