"And the two planes that were taking the band and crew that we had taken out to San Diego were flying out after the show. And so I was never supposed to be on that plane"

Reba McEntire was discussing a program she had performed in San Diego. She and her band and crew had flown out to the city for the program, and later on the two planes they had taken were flying back. Nevertheless, McEntire was not supposed to be on among those planes. This might suggest that she had other prepare for her return journey, or that she was not originally suggested to be on the aircraft in the first place. It might also suggest that the plane was overbooked, and McEntire was not able to get a seat. Whatever the factor, it is clear that McEntire was not implied to be on the airplane that was taking her band and team back house.
