Lies, Lies - Everywhere the lies!

Came back from a trip to Florida. Checked in and the check-in lady said our flight was delayed. Asked why - and she actually looked it up. She said: "There's a maintenance issue and your flight is still on the ground in Detroit". That's a 2 1/2 hour flight from Tampa, where we were. So, checked the flight board. Said our FLight was delayed for an hour! Pretty soon it came up that our flight was delayed again by another hour. Eventually the departure board posted that our flight was delayed by something over 2.5 hours! They KNEW this an hour and a half before our scheduled departure - yet kept "reposting" delays - rather than giving the real info up front.

Inbound Detroit flight finally arrived - and I spoke with one of the disembarking passengers. She said they were dealyed on Detroit take off for maintenance issues - a wing flap - and then something to do with a light. So - we boarded the flight - 3 hours late - and were apologized to for the delayed flight - BECAUSE OF WEATHER ISSUES IN DETROIT!

Lies! Lies! Everywhere the lies!
