Is is ASA? If so, I would guess mechanical. My flights with them average close to 75% mechanical. They are usually short delays, just long enough to make the CRJ with no air conditioning smell like a high school locker room.

I am only saying 75% because as it happens, both my flights this week were actually ontime. Of course on one flight after takeoff I noticed the lining hanging out of the exit row door. Don't think we would have left had I noticed it and pointed it out before we left. So much for maintenance inspections.

Glad to be alive.
Just so you know, ASA is consistantly near the top of Delta Connection carriers for on time (within 14 minutes, which is how it's recorded) arrivals..
