Thank you @British_Airways for having staff in the lounge who can actually get real answers to questions about why flights are delayed.

My next flight is delayed because they can't get people thru checkin fast enough, which at least means this probably won't get cancelled.

Hounslow, England, GBR

  Yes! The LHR-DFW flight was super delayed and I missed the DFW-PDX flight, so I had to stay overnight in Dallas and take another flight in the morning, but I eventually made it! It was great seeing you in Vienna even if my conference experience was cut short!

  So I assume that the good news then is that you got to go home, right? Again, great seeing you in Vienna!

  Notice how I've been more of a participant in chat these days? It's because I'm logged in through Matrix.

  Yeah some of this drama I kept off twitter and posted only to my site. It's been a long week 😛

  Ah. I need to go back to following you on a more regular basis. Need to fix my site, though, first. then I will use the personal reader module for Drupal.

  honestly a 30 minute delay is the least of my problems with this whole trip 😅

  It's a huge flight, LHR-DFW, so presumably they lose more money if they have to reroute people who miss it vs the delays

  That's insane... Not common, though, is it? this is the first time I have ever heard this reason for a flight to be delayed. normally it's a mechanical problem in my personal experience.
