Reasons for Delay
Please forgive an outsider intruding and if this the incorrect forum please feel free to move this thread.
My question relates to aircraft departure delays. Why is it that so often we passengers are given the reason for the delay as 'damage caused to the aircraft by a baggage handlers trolley'? I have experienced this a couple of times myself and yesterday a very lengthy delay to a TCD flight from MAN/MCO was also being blamed on such damage.
I cannot believe that the drivers of these trolleys are so incompetent and I was once told by ground crew that this was a coverall excuse used to cover any eventuality. So what is the real truth guys? Are passengers not worthy of being told the real reason for their delayed flight? We'd love to know.
