Re: Why long haul planes sit for a long time on ground...?

JAL keeps their 787-9 on the ground in BOS for about 20 hours.
I've assumed this is about both hitting departure and arrival banks at NRT, and also crew rest in BOS so they can fly the plane back.
Any actual insight into that one would be welcome

Re: Another DL PR issue. This time FOX Sports host and family not allowed to travel

Funny thing is that there are probably 1000 kids flying everyday who have lice. It often takes a while to detect, since they're harmless and like to hide down near the scalp.
