CX 170
I see that CX170 due out of Perth Western Australia on June 14th was 20 hrs late .
That was a very long delay so what kind of " technical " problem would cause such a delay?
Just curious as I have not seen many delays as long as this for quite a while.

Its part of new strategy CX are experimenting with. Its called "Time to Win", I believe. Just needs tweaking a little. In fact if you have access to "The Journey" (latest version) you can crosscheck on page 36 just how many boxes they've ticked so far.
Facts... they make the difference.
Nope, it would have needed to have happened after the aircraft was released for flight.
Normal maintenance inspections be it a daily check, weekly, monthly, or ad hoc required inspections are supposed to be planned on ground time between flights. What happens however is the Wx delays we have had skew the flight schedules that much the time slots no longer line up, however the work still needs to be performed.
The aircraft could be fully serviceable however the required inspections still need to be performed.

Hmmm..
I have had countless delays for technical "issues", mechanical and paperwork, for aircraft that haven't been released for flight. Do you mean that is how Engineering classify a technical delay?

You can say well the aircraft was not signed out, engineering could turn around and say it was scheduled for a check but arrived back late. It is an interconnected series of events.
In the finger pointing session when all departments come together to go through every flight then things come out in the wash. The timing schedule has a number of assumptions built in, a jet that has been released for flight is one of them.
