Clearly those telling the OP to suck it up and deal arent even the people DL is trying to market to on this route. For those who are the target audience, even a single screw up is an indication they might want to look at the competition.
It is unreasonable to assume such a sub can never happen. Would it be better to not fly the flight at all when heavy IROPS is in play and leaves no BE equipment available?

But DL should compensate well when it does happen. This is clear.
