Hmmm I am surprised that the Captain went into this kind of detail specially as it is something which occured the day before. I have to say I don't know what goes through certain peoples minds when they start giving out all this extra information. I am sure as the delayed pax you would be glad to be on your way home or on your way to your holiday with your complimentary drink and a quick appology to say "we appologise for the delay, it was out of this crews contol as it stemmed from a slight technical delay yesterday and has had a subsequent knock on effect to todays flying programme - as a way of an appology please accept a complimentory drink from us on Monarch's behalf".
