Why AA369 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA369 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
AA369 is usually the aircraft’s first flight of the day: the schedule gives it a median of 9 hours on the ground at SFO, so its “inbound” is mostly the aircraft’s arrival the evening before.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, AA369 pushed back an average of 5 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 11 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into SFO: 516 of 622 departures. Unknown, cancelled or diverted inbounds and gaps over 12 hours are left out.
Against the network at the same turn length
| Share of departures | Inbound landed 15+ late | Left 15+ late after a late inbound | Left 15+ late after an on-time inbound |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA369 | 47% | 9% | 10% |
| Network, same turn | 29% | 12% | 9% |
A night on the ground absorbs most of a late arrival, so a late inbound matters far less here than on a same-day turn.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 6 hours or more, usually overnight. How often AA369’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often AA369 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves SFO late, does that still matter by the time it reaches MIA?
AA369 pushes back an average of 14.9 minutes late and reaches the gate at MIA an average of 5.1 minutes late. The 9.8 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, so a late pushback is partly, not fully, made up before the gate. It spends 17.4 minutes on the taxiways at SFO, 5.8 minutes shorter than a typical SFO departure in the same hour.
On arrival at MIA, AA369 spends 8.5 min taxiing from touchdown to the gate — ground time a connecting passenger sits through before they can even leave the aircraft, on top of however late the flight itself ran. That is 1.2 minutes shorter than a typical MIA arrival (9.7 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 40,001 SFO departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 349,140 arrivals at MIA. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves SFO
AA369 has one departure time, 8:00 AM, so this is what that hour at SFO is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 40,001 departures from SFO are scheduled in the 8 AM–9 AM hour over the period, against 449,339 across the whole day.
AA369 is scheduled out of SFO at 8:00 AM, in the 8 AM–9 AM bank. Departures from SFO in that hour arrive on time 85.1% of the time against 78.3% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 6.8 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from SFO, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.
