A couple of years ago, the flight deck advised that the delay was due to ATC, so I asked in PPRuNe if anyone could verify this. My intention was to learn if the carrier was telling the truth.
I was right Royally flamed for my trouble. I was accused of denigrating those fine people in ATC as well as their cousins and their Aunties.
