Wait until they drum up cargo contracts. I can't tell you how many times (and drinks) I've consumed in a 330 or 767 sitting on a gate in A or A-West waiting for cargo to be loaded...
 
Seems like some of the other Int'l flights were so lucky, especially Madrid. Paris was pretty well delayed because of maintenance as well.
 
Anybody know why the A330 that does PHL-SJU-PHL has been swapped out for a 767 the past 2 days? Anybody know if the A330 will be back tomorrow? (Keeping fingers crossed)
