If that were to occur, our gutless and incompetent Government would screw up the wording of the new legislation anyway. Useless fools. And the airlines would circumvent any ‘avoidable delay’ clause - aircraft delayed due to weather (act of God). Aircraft delayed due to crew member sickness (act of nature). Refueller late to refuel the aircraft due to having to take a **** (WHS). There would be a new set of delay codes neatly worded to make sure every delay was unavoidable.
