AC never ceases to disappoint.

@EdmFlyBoi

See, the problem is "time is fluid".

By extension, AC's ON TIME activities can also be observed to be "fluid"

But since you're up there now, on a bird with no wifi, I've done all these fun items for your scrapbook.

FR24 seems to know where you are and what time you left YEG. So yes, your 5:15pm departure was, whatever you'd like to call it.

Looking at FlightAware, it also notes your 5:15pm departure departed, but not at 5:15pm

Looking at EF, you clearly departed at 5:15 but conveniently, you are not landing at whatever time AC said you would.

I note, however, that your flight features "entertainment on demand" so consider my post as your "entertainment on arrival".

EF shows no delays

But I am happy to report that AC Flight Status page kept claiming you departed on time at 5:15pm.

I've been refreshing AC's page and just now, it updated. It seems that you still left on time at 5:15pm which is now on time at 5:28pm. So math.

Now I've also checked my handy AC slide rule and AC abacus because clearly, the math I learned in grade 4 is not the math AC uses.

(And for those of you who read this post and didn't get the humour, get an AC abacus.)
