Quite. But when you are told that you cannot use that code because it is a handling delay even though that was the cause of the delay, you just select a number that isn't a handling delay to keep everyone happy and give you an easy life. These are just some of the codes that I was told I could not use:-
13. Check-in error.
15. Boarding, discrepancy and paging _Flight coupon/boarding passs counting errors or wrong announcement
32. Loading/unloading - Late or wrong load planning/lack of loading staff
36. Fueling/de-fueling. Late arrival of the fuel supplier/technical problems at fuel supplier. (because there was an "agrrement" with the fuel supplier)
90% of the time I was told I couldn't use those codes. So if you can't issue a code, what do you do?
