The Wolverines got to the airport and sat outside for nearly 3 hours waiting for a second pilot. Michigan was told the pilot was being flown in from Texas, team spokeswoman Sarah VanMetre said. Michigan’s travel party finally started going through security screening to get on the plane at 8:30 p.m. PDT and then boarded an hour later. After sitting on the plane for 75 minutes, the team found out the pilot was over his allotted flight time for the day, so the plane couldn’t take off.
The buses that had dropped the team off at the airport had left, forcing the team to take ride-share cars back to its hotel. Staff members waited 45 minutes for the buses return to transport the team’s luggage. The Wolverines returned to the airport on Sunday morning and, after about an hour delay, finally were on their way home.
