So what's this only AC does it?

AC015 is now rescheduled to tomorrow morning as AC2015.

Andrew, I think that you've misconstrued my point. The point was that we were told by AC staff in the MLL that all flights to HKG would be delayed because of the weather yet we see CX taxiing for takeoff at 11am - we could have changed if we had wanted to yet we were told that it wouldn't accomplish anything due to the weather. I think that the staff in the lounge were just as surprised as we were to see the CX flight leaving.
