What happened to real and timely information?
Delta has a few rules to assist with delays and simply put they've decided it's easier just not to have any delays so they've created these rules to ensure they will never have a delayed flight...ever!

1) Schedules are subject to change**

2) Delta flights never operate late

** schedules are subject to change until 24 hours AFTER the originally posted departure time

it is sad that even 10-15 minutes AFTER the posted departure time and boarding hasn't begun that the flight is still listed on time....
