@jaketapper: Sources tell me the holdup with the plane leaving Iran is because Fly Dubai charter crew had exceeded flying time limit. Had to get new crew

Yeah, right.

I'm on the asphalt in Iran surrounded by armed Muslims complete with automatic cannon,tanks, and AAW weapons.

I decide I have to wait for a replacement pilot and crew to land, brief, start the engines, do a pre-flight and passenger safety brief because I have been “on duty” too long?
