You mean the flight or Robert Q? The flight was 8651.
The bus departed approximately at 16:30 and we arrived to the Robert Q terminal at 19:50. So almost 3.5 hours too. The driver told us that the 401 is blocked in Guelph area and took the 407/403 combo. At that time I was delayed 23 hours, as I originally intended to arrive on the 8655 Thursday.

I meant the bus. The roads were a mess. Only 8657 got out after noon and that one was late.

Landed YYZ a little before 1300 today. Poor visibility on the ground and slow taxi to T1. Pushback of AC414 was delayed about 15min at 1415 and we deiced before departure, making up most of the delay inflight. Approaching YUL around 1525 we went into a hold out over Beauharnois and finally landed at 1555. My 1610 departure to YQB is now delayed until 1715. Poor ground conditions right now at YUL with lots of snow removal work on the ramp approaches around Gate 1. Several inbound international heavies holding over on the taxiway across from the regional Aeroquay.

Air China 789 slowly rolling by with fluo-green tail from deicing fluid. CA880 YUL-PEK.

Just a friend.

YYZ YXU hasn’t operating since 8am today. YXU YYZ is somewhat better, only 50% cancelled and 25% delayed.

Well I’d say the first ones at least got out today but they already cancelled first one tomorrow. Despite no major weather issues apparently.

The whole Via agreement... I’ve seen them offer it before, I’ve also seen them try and reroute people via crazy routes to avoid it.

You have status? Might be worth calling them regardless and trying to get in an earlier flight or seeing it they’ll cover the train.

Was scheduled out of YXU @ 6:10 Mon Feb 12. It was cancelled at 3:30 am.

Now batting 100% as every one of my 4 flights from YXU to YYZ this year has been IROPS affected and therefore cancelled as connections missed unacceptably.

Going for 5!

Ah but is weather irregular? Time to start enjoying the Via/Robert Q/Driving I fear.
