The flights are not exotic, just Yyz-yeg returns, Yyz-ewr and yeg-yvr. The frustrating thing is that a plane will land late and not depart for an hour - where is the hustle to get the bird back up? Also, the delays are seldom posted and not one of these were posted before I got to the airport.

Something needs to be done with this.
I knew some, or one poster, would immediately post its ATC or some other excuse, rather than AC.

However its often not AC fault, how many of your flights were "crew" problems or mechanical?
However the next problem with AC is they are HOPELESS at sending out "text" or updating information on delayed flights that is just part of the "dont care" attitude at AC.
