My record was AC taking 26 hours to get me from YEG to YXE. It is the longest delay relative to distance traveled. Several years ago. Snow storm, caused delays into Calgary, canceled the midnight flight from Calgary to YXE due to mechanical. Booked onto zombie flight the next day that only existed in the computer system but not in real life. Re booked connecting in YVR.
I would say WS historicaly was worse with IROP. That said AC has had its own problems over the years. They are both getting better. Today I find they are on par with each other domestically.
