My adventure....was booked on AC 1865 (CUR-YYZ) on December 29. Scheduled departure was 17:10. Incoming flight was AC 1864 (YYZ-CUR). According to the pilot yesterday on AC1998, AC 1864 was 5th in line when the weather radar went. Back to the gate for repairs. Due to many other issues, the orginal crew timed out and they had to find a new plance and crew. Eventually, AC 1864 left YYZ and didn't arrive until after midnight and as a result AC 1865 was cancelled on the 30th. It was a scramble to get a room for the night. Again, the crew time out AND they couldn't get a room for any of them until 4:00 AM on the 30th. The new flight on the 30th AC 1998 didn't leave until after 18:00.

Already received an e-credit for the 1998 delay and have applied for compensation on the cancelled 1865 flight. Wish me luck !
