It showed a delay yesterday which would cause me to miss my flint flight again (since they butchered the FNT schedule, there ARE no afternoon flights between 12-5pm)
I want to know what your thoughts on why there are so many issues with this particular flight out of BNA - - its awful - - I end up getting in late and I can either sit there at DTW for 6-7 hours, or rent a car and drive home (which I have done many times)
what is the deal - - - (ohhh the problems are always with the E75's (and I don't mind this plane either, as they are much better than jungle jets
anyone have any ideas - - I can't figure out what is going on here
How long a delay on average? An hour or two wouldn't cause a big problem for me. I usually take this flight to connect to asia because if the 10:15 flight is late or canceled it's a delay until the next day and loss of all assigned seats. I have been burned 3 times on the 10:15 flight. Sick pilots and mechanicals. I surely don't want to take the 6:15 and wait in DTW for 6 or 7 hours to connect. I have no idea why they would schedule maitenance at this time of day. If that's what it was. They have lied to me several times in the past.
