Title: Are Cnl. reasons totally random?
Post by: maloyjones on October 16, 2010, 09:31:16 PM
Hi.

I've just had a cancellation on a depature, Sunday at 14.00 due to scheduling. The last thing the aircraft did, was an A-check which ended Saturday at 16.00 which makes room for a 22hour delay. This doesn't really make any sense to me, unless the reasons are random? Can anyone clarify this?

Thanks.

Yes, there is always, no matter how much time you put in between flights, a very small chance of having a scheduling problem with the flight.  No airline is perfect and unforeseen things are always a possibility.

i always imagine that they build up over time.  5 minutes here, 5 minutes there, and eventually you will have a missed flight.  again, that is just my imagination.

I like to think that too. If a flight was delayed for Wx or ATS reasons, maybe the next flight is going to be cancelled for any reason (like pilots reaching 8 flying hours, previous flight too late or whatever). Everything is connected IMO.

I too imagine this, but sadly reactionary delays are not implemented.
