[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maintenance is a thing. You know how your car sometimes breaks down? Airplanes can do that too.[/quote]

Yes, I've had that happen, sat forever on tarmac, had to leave, come back...but never had a flight cancelled many hours prior due to maintance.[/quote]

Maybe the pilot's mother died and they couldn't find a replacement. Maybe the flight crew caught the flu.

Maybe they have to source a replacement part from another country. (One plane we were kicked off after waiting on board for 5 hours ending up sitting in a foreign country for 3-4 days before it could be repaired. They put us on the plane that arrived the next day, and cancelled all the people expecting to fly home on that plane that day).

Maybe the plane scheduled to go to Bangkok broke down and they decided to use your mother's plane for that flight.

Maybe your mother's plane is still in another country awaiting repairs or a pilot or a crew.

Maybe your mother's plane was only 40% full and they decided to redistribute the passengers to other flights.[/quote]
