1:15 delay! Are you serious? Lots of weather out there. Unless you think DL is trying to mess with you...

Before the big down arrow, take a look and you will see that the bulk of the delay (only 1:13) is at the direction of FAA (which generally means ATC).

How about an up arrow for keeping you safe instead of running you into a mess?

No just curious if anyone knew. My concern is that it will keep getting later.

While we're at it, does anyone know why:
Flight 5444 is running 50 minutes late?
Flight 2291 is running 36 minutes late?
Flight 5351 is running 59 minutes late?
Flight 5036 is running 61 minutes late?
Flight 2642 is running 54 minutes late?
Flight 5592 is running 90 minutes late?
Flight 5368 is running 69 minutes late?
Flight 5473 is running 134 minutes late?
Flight 4923 is running 54 minutes late?

But seriously, 1:15 isn't too big of a deal... The airline would probably be a better source of knowledge than in internet message board. No matter what the reason, it could still go later but no one can really predict the future.

It is a very tough crowd on the DL forum. I thought it was getting better...

It continues to be as tough as ever. In fairness, though, we do get too many "Flight XXXX is delayed today. Why? I'm on flight XXXX ATL-YYY six weeks from yesterday, and I just want to make sure it'll be on time."

They're like that in the UA forum b/c they're bitter from flying UA But in all seriousness, let's hope they get a new CEO and UA turns around.

did you make those up, or did you actually take the time to look them all up?

A Spring evening - LGA.....I'd consider a 1:15 delay as ON-TIME as it gets.

Do we really need a thread every time a flight is delayed? Delays happen every day. Just ask at the airport.

Agree

Totally agree. These can be tough on the OP because it shows postings with little flying experience. Check on line or ask at the airport.

DL 2914 was cancelled today. I am flying this same flight on Friday and I need to know if my flight will be cancelled. Can anyone tell me? My crystal ball is at home.
