Why, whenever this sort of unexpected event occurs do we get some mo*on slagging off the airline as if it deliberately tried to delay them or their relatives (and making them pay full fare as well). I thought this was an aviation forum so surely anybody on here ought to understand the cost of having a "spare" aircraft or two hanging around for emergencies. Or know that the chances of finding a couple of replacements at short notice over a bank holiday week-end might not be too high. I despair at times!
