I think the company T&Cs refer to material changes to schedule, not to delays.
I know of no airlines that email passengers regarding delays! Passengers are always asked to check in on time because delay situations are so fluid. What if an aircraft was chartered to get you home while half of you are still on the beach?? I don't expect pax to understand the complexities, but if you were in the OPS office during one of these delays, I think you would find everyone pulling out all the stops to reduce the delays to a minimum.
Re: ETOPS. Please stop asking. We don't know. We are mere minions who point the planes in the direction we are told to. That's between the CAA and the Company who are working hard to reinstate it ASAP. It will make very little difference to SFB via BGR anyway. Maybe 45 mins to an hour extra
