    Airlines don’t typically want to delay aircraft; they usually have to due to mechanical or other issues they have to check. The more the aircraft is in the air, the more money is made.

    If you could see the list of delay causes, you’d think twice about questioning delays.

      If the world was halfway organised, airports would have spare unbranded planes that airlines could use in a pinch when their aircraft need some emergency issues.

      Fly it out and back and the main plane is back in use.

      Make airlines pay proper compensation and they’d sort this themselves.

        Won’t work. Too many different systems between different airlines and aircraft. Pilots won’t be rated to use the right equipment and that’s the last thing you want.
