This may be the wrong thread, and I apologize if it is, but we were scheduled to on this as a connecting flight from LAX to SYD. When we found out it was going to be over 2 hours late, it nullified any chance to make the connecting flight to SYD (layover was 2 hours and 5 minutes). Yes, American offered no help at all; just sent a worthless text telling us the flight was late.
Won't bore you with the rest of the miserable story, but if AA has delayed a flight for no good reason, shouldn't they be reaching out to us to help us make that connecting flight?
Thank you (and, again, apologies if wrong thread)

There probably was a significant reason. Airlines don’t delay just because they feel s bit lazy one day, as the knock-on effects are felt down the line. Given your initial delays were at ORD in summer, if guess ATC ground holds issued by the FAA.
Please refrain from cross-posting; your reference post is in the Compensation thread, so please keep it there.
