The "ON TIME" arrivals figures are bunk now. First, the airlines themselves have lengthened the "time" for all their flights over the last 18 months!</font>
Well, I don't see why this is a problem. As roads have gotten more congested, bus companies have been doing the same as well. If a bus takes 30 minutes without traffic to go from A to B, but takes 1 hour during morning rush hour, don't you think that the bus company should adjust the schedule to indicate that the 6 am departure arrives at 7 as opposed to 6:30? Why would it be any different for the airlines?
Airports are getting congested, and that's a problem, but a separate one from the airlines maintaining the promise of getting you at destination at the time they say they would.
