Can't say I ever heard of this for the reason of a flight delay before.

An American Airlines flight from Louisville to Charlotte was delayed for almost three hours while they got a replacement co-pilot.

That's because the original co-pilot was arrested at the airport -- for a triple homicide.

There's got to be a plot for a movie in this somewhere. Or at least a ripped-from-the-headlines TV episode.
