A flight from Austin was delayed despite clear skies because the crew was coming from storm-affected Dallas. Changes in American Airlines' crew scheduling, where crews no longer stay with the same aircraft, have led to cascading delays. This issue is also a point of contention in ongoing contract negotiations with flight attendants.
