Controlable or Uncontrolable Delay because of delayed inbound?
Got an interesting question...
UA51 EWR-MAD is delayed due to inbound aircraft
Inbound aircraft is delayed due to a medical diversion from Europe
Is the delay of UA51 considered a controllable delay (aka vouchers for food, ETC as customer care comp) because they could have found another plane or uncontrollable (bupkis) because the inbound had a diversion?

Secondly, any European scholars want to comment if UA50 will be eligible for EC261 comp tomorrow if it was delayed because the inbound from EWR was delayed tonight? Right now it's only delayed 2 hours but curious what happens if it meets the 4 hour threshold.
