i wonder if the planes which have been benched while flying was unpopular and are now coming back online have to meet some sort of regulatory standard because they haven't flown in several months

Probably that and/or pilot hours

No doubt there are many flights to test aircraft, for training, relocating aircraft, but would they have a flight number and departure/arrival status on the corporate web site? I have never seen any other flight like this.

I have never seen a flight like that either, but I've also never seen the airline industry fucked this bad.

The service rep said “that’s weird” and put me on hold... the aircraft just turned along the Florida coast before flying over international waters.

The rep came back and asked me if I know where the flight is coming from and going to. I explained that I am not a passenger, just a concerned citizen. There is a supervisor on the other line and they are making “a report” of a possible “glitch.”

Rep says there was a glitch and the flight number may have been reassigned after a schedule change.

The aircraft has reached Mar-a-Lago latitude.
