As for no 'heavily delayed flights' 'in the last two months' - I can confirm (and wrote about it on Flyertalk, that I was on a flight schedule for a 22:35 departure that did not depart until past 01:10... and that was just seven weeks ago. You can also see that on the following day the flight departed at 00:30. Now, you may consider a 2 and 40 minute delay, or a 2 hour delay to be de minimus. I happen to disagree. Of course you won't find any article - those passengers are primarily once a year tourist non-English speaking travellers who don't use flyertalk and US media are running around JFK checking on delays.
I didn't call you liar, I just asked for proofs, what I don't think means the same. My point was not to blame anyone, but to discuss facts and I am far from defending LOT (they are average airline and in terms of IRROPs, not better or worse than any other).
I admit I didn't ask what the heavy delay is, maximum delay for last two weeks is like 2 hours on departure, what of course is not fine, but not tragic as well (I expected to see delays of 4 hours and more, even postponing departure for next day).
Also, as LOT is Polish company, many incidents/problems are reported in Polish media. I recall articles in TVN24 about rejected take-offs or cancelled flights, but nothing about stranded passengers (like
this, not LOT related).
