I'm on UA46 (IAH-FRA) tonight. I received a message that it was going to be about an hour late leaving due to a "late arriving aircraft." Delays always seem to get longer and longer until the inbound is in the air, so I check the preceding flight, which is 1502 from EWR. The scheduled arrival time of 1502 is 6:05pm (it will be 6 minutes late) and the scheduled departure of 46 is 6:35. Why on earth did UA schedule a 30 minute turn on an international-bound 767? They wouldn't let me schedule a 30 minute connect to an international flight (not that I'd want to, but still). Why would they schedule a certain delay?
