Too many of the non-pilots posting here just don't get it at all and should shut up for once in their lives and listen. It has been repeatedly explained to you that aircraft/crew being delayed are not the fault of the crew. I won't waste my time explaining again some of the reasons that have already been mentioned here. READ THEM!

The customer
doesn't give a **** which of the supplier's individual employees or subcontractors has screwed up. They don't care. They get
really pissed off when supplier's employee says "none of my business, guv, it was somebody else". The customer's business is with the supplier: if the supplier can't sort out the interactions between their staff and subcontractors properly so as to deliver the expected service then that is the supplier's problem, and for
any employee of the supplier to try to disclaim responsiblity and blame it on someone else is simply taking the piss.
