Comments on: Some airlines are more honest than others http://www.consumertraveler.com/today/some-airlines-are-most-honest-than-others/ The last honest travel site Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:38:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Frank http://www.consumertraveler.com/today/some-airlines-are-most-honest-than-others/comment-page-1/#comment-7545 Frank Sat, 18 Oct 2008 15:06:47 +0000 http://www.tripso.com/?p=5592#comment-7545 Flights aren’t simply delayed. They’re held up because of a “mechanical,” “weather,” or “ATC hold.” That’s ATC, as in Air Traffic Control. (In other words, weather.) ======================================================= Flow control is another issue when it comes to flying into or out of congested airports, as I do. Another is ground stops. Both are highly used when it comes to traveling into the busy New York Area Airports. I hear these terms regularly, when trying to get home. Bother way, what's the difference between DELAYED and HELD UP? Both describe the flight as being late. In all these years, I've always said, MOST DELAYS are for your safety.
