Why AA757 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
screening or terminal security incidents

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA757 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying AA757 came in 15 or more minutes late on 13% of the departures where its previous flight is known. There are not enough departures in both groups to say how the flight left after a late one and after an on-time one.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into DFW: 515 of 596 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 |
|---|---|
| AA757 | 13% |
| Network, same turn | 17% |
65 scheduled minutes is enough to clean and board when the aircraft is on time, with little to spare when it is not.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 60 to 89 minutes. How often AA757’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s. There are not enough departures in both groups to compare how it left.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves DFW late, does that still matter by the time it reaches SEA?
AA757 pushes back an average of 21.4 minutes late and reaches the gate at SEA an average of 11.1 minutes late. The 10.3 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 DFW, 2.0 minutes shorter than a typical DFW departure in the same hour.
On arrival at SEA, AA757 spends 12.9 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 about what any arrival at SEA spends on the ground before reaching the gate.
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 76,797 DFW departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 526,096 arrivals at SEA. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves DFW
AA757 has one departure time, 12:25 PM, so this is what that hour at DFW is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 76,797 departures from DFW are scheduled in the 12 PM–1 PM hour over the period, against 989,065 across the whole day.
AA757 is scheduled out of DFW at 12:25 PM, in the 12 PM–1 PM bank. Departures from DFW in that hour arrive on time 78.0% of the time against 73.1% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 4.9 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from DFW, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 610 records of AA757 operating DFW → SEA, published by the US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A flight counts as delayed when it arrives 15 or more minutes after schedule; cancelled and diverted flights are reported separately, not in the on-time rate.
