Yes. My flights are always late and it always pisses me off.
When you travel, you just have to assume that things are gonna take a while. I say, be prepared to wait.
You're on a vacation. RELAX PEOPLE. They're not doing it on purpous.
I just think planes should take off and arive when they say they are.
None of the above

The airline industry's on-time performance so far in 2007 remained the worst in 13 years, according to government data released Monday. More than 24 percent of flights arrived late in the first nine months of the year. The industry's on-time performance this year remained the worst since comparable data began being collected in 1995. Customer complaints rose in September to 895 compared with 627 in the same month last year, according to the government data. But the rates of mishandled baggage fell to about 5.5 reports per 1,000 passengers from 8.3 reports a year ago. So, DO YOU CARE IF YOUR PLANE IS LATE?

    Holy spoiled Batman!!!
    You get into a metal and plastic tube that picks you up and carries your body a few hundred/ thousand miles at about 30.000 feet. Then puts you down safely on the other side of the country, and you bitch about being delayed .
    When you should still be surprised that your doing it in the first place...

    I care very much when my flight is late. After all I am trying to get my vacation or business trip started. Or I am trying to get home to take care of things after my vacation. But I am always prepared for delay.

    If we really had a choice in flying commercially, we'd pay less and have better service. People would demand their money back from the poor service in this industry. But starting a competing company just doesn't happen everyday like it does in most other industries.

    oh please don't - or at least don't get drunk. Only a few things upset me on a flight more than late flights, rude/drunk passengers.
