An American Airlines flight was due to takeoff from JFK to Miami, delayed for almost three hours. As the gate its in is scheduled to be free for another arriving aircraft to park at the same gate, the delayed airplane is moved to nearby unoccupied gate and passengers are informed. Again, the same happens as the flight is delayed for further two hours and the aircraft is moved. When finally the fault is fixed and passengers are taking their seats, a flight attendant addresses the passengers: "Dear passengers, we appologise for the delay. The problem has now been fixed but may we remind passengers that this is the Miami flight so please check that you are on the correct flight, thank you". The captain leaves the plane!
