"Late due to late arrival of inbound aircraft"
I personally dont see it as an insult - it tells me:-
- The plane has not gone tech.
- The plane assigned for my particular sector was late arriving and another is not available.
- No pertinent information is available as to why the inbound flight was delayed.
And back on topic for the thread....
The strangest announcement I had was when our departure from ST Lucia was delayed.....

We are going to be a delayed a few minutes as the handler has loaded our cargo of bananas into the wrong hold and they would freeze if we do not move them"
