- "Delayed awaiting inbound aircraft (on) account (of) original FIN 337 (being) AOG in YYZ due (to) MTC- Rudder petal(sic) issues. Awaiting ferry flight AC7067 from YUL to pick up AC710."

AC7067 RTG IN YUL- NECESSARY FIN SWAP RE

- "AC7067 returned to (the) gate in YUL. Necessary FIN swap required to first available. Now awaiting inbound FIN 333."

FURTHERED DELAYED DUE T
O AIRCRAFT HELD OVER HEAD LGA

- "(AC715) Further delayed due to aircraft (inbound AC710/FIN 333) held overhead LGA"

So that combined with the fact that the remarks themselves are a total mess = barely comprehensible. I don't blame you for having a headache!
Would also help if explanation given by the captain on board would match what the gate agents had said previously as the cause of a delay (for a subsequent flight). Gate agent correctly mentioned mechanical issues with two different planes; crew said weather at LGA...

The operating crew of either AC710 YYZLGA or the return AC715 LGAYYZ (whether same crew or different) may not have been aware of all the intricacies behind the upline delay(s). The gate agents can see all the remarks that were listed above, the crew can not.

To add to this, both were partially correct, so in hindsight this was not a case of making things up, more like which part of the story to emphazise. But when different people offer different explanations, it makes it sound like they made them up, which is not good.

I like the commercial plug for Gas N Go.

That's a first for me.

AC321 had a medical emergency which was dealt with after arrival into YYC on 7/31... hopefully it’s not the start of a trend

AC566 clipped the tail of an Edelweiss 340 as it taxied by gate 64.
C-GHPU.
The A340 may not have been all the way at the gate.
This is a picture of Edelweiss.

The 787 wing tip didn't look any better.

I'm assuming these are the correct remarks for this FIN / flight:

RMKS/AIRCRAFT RETURN TO GATE ACCT MTC FIN 803 FOR A SPOILERS AND FLAP INHIBIT EICAS MESSAGE
Or maybe not.
