I was bemused by the following Tweet:
30 minutes late into #Canberra with @virginaustralia. Hope the service is more efficient on the return flight this afternoon #epicfail
Epic fail?
It turns out that the Twitterer had been late for a very important meeting.
I wish I could be more sympathetic but an aeroplane flight is a very complex juggling act:
- weather
- airport traffic
- mechanics of the plane
- crew
Any of those things can go wrong. I leave a minimum margin of four hours. For example, I do everything I can not to fly into a city for a morning meeting but fly in the day before.
