To the person raising concerns on Delta's inability to accurately show delays - I'm on board. At gate, plane "leaves" in 17 min but isn't even at gate; yet Delta still is calling it on time... 😡

^apologies for dad joke

Actually fun fact TC1 - If your pilot says they're going to "fly faster to make it up" there's a good chance that the real reason you're getting there faster is because air traffic control is giving the plane a more direct route.

AC2 or they adjust they're decent and ascent so they can stay at cruising speed and altitude longer. All still factors on Destination arrival. They don't give a rats ass about departure time.

I get the whole point of on time arrivals driving the main status, but departure status is also important 1) as an indicator of performance and, more importantly, 2) driver of pre-flight behaviors
