Any ideas on how to handle this?
Look, did the aircraft leave on time? im sure it did. otherwise it wouldn't be sitting somewhere else waiting for EDCT clearance into LGA. SHould UA app updat e the arrival time? ideally it should. But if it doesn't know a reliable EDCT time (which changes all the time) how should it assign an arrival time? Maybe UA app should just say arrival time "unknown"? then it will scare the crap out of a bunch of people because they think the airplane crashed.
