What were the lies, how do you know they were lies? A simple search on Google shows that the return to STN is due to a late inbound aircraft. This could be due to weather or tech reasons.

LondonElite I believe its a tech or crew reason. Either of those is fine; I just want as much info as somebody here might be able to get, above and beyond what I can. I dont want to publish the conversation I had here but trust me I was told something patently untrue. Im just asking for some additional info as Ive got everything I can from google.

For those who haven't memorized MT's schedule, this would be its 12:35 departure CFU-STN.
Looks to me as though MT made two aircraft substitutions in an effort to get the flight out, one at 02:01 and the next at 03:31 (both local CFU). It was at that point that what had been showing as a 20-minute delay was changed to the full on projected delay. This suggests the work of a carrier doing its best to locate a reserve aircraft and get it to a small outstation with a crew having the hours to legally work the flight back to STN.
Often, when carriers are trying to locate reserve aircraft (and crew) to perform a flight, there will be significant changes in the operating parameters and what was accurate at one moment, may not be the next.
What OP refers to as a "pack of lies" may well not be lies but simply changes. Until he posts what the "pack of lies" were, it is really hard to either have much sympathy or to provide more than passing advice.
