Right you are. I wasn't nitpicking their grammar though, I meant for purposes of establishing what the concept they were referring to is generally called.
Not really - I'm sure they did, but this was more than two years ago, and as the delay was rather small we didn't mind it at the time. It made us miss our connecting flight (or rather, they refused to let us board our connecting flight even though we just would have made it) and subsequently the delay became quite large though.
