Why F94069 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
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 F94069 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, F94069 pushed back an average of 73 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 2 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into DFW: 574 of 610 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| F94069 | 35% | 78% | 10% |
| Network, same turn | 17% | 69% | 9% |
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 F94069’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often F94069 left 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves DFW late, does that still matter by the time it reaches DEN?
F94069 pushes back an average of 33.0 minutes late and reaches the gate at DEN an average of 25.7 minutes late. The 7.3 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. Its 20.8 minutes on the taxiways at DFW is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at DEN, F94069 spends 16.9 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 7.1 minutes longer than a typical DEN arrival (9.8 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 60,907 DFW departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 991,579 arrivals at DEN. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves DFW
F94069 has one departure time, 9:31 PM, so this is what that hour at DFW is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 60,907 departures from DFW are scheduled in the 9 PM–10 PM hour over the period, against 989,065 across the whole day.

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.

When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
104 min late
against a median of 1 min early
F94069 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 1 min early, but the worst tenth are 105 minutes worse than that. If the trip has something unmissable at the end of it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.
