Currently stuck in the truly dire Flagship lounge at ORD, waiting for the delayed 296- showing at the moment as an hour late and delay expected to grow. Its booked time is 2115 depature, 1100 arrival.

Looking at FR24 data, this flight has only departed within an hour of scheduled departure time 4 times in May - this week alone most departures seem to be 2-3hrs late leaving.

Is there a reason for this or just a run of bad luck?

(Edit - typo its 296 not 295!)
