Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel and to a question you guys asked me to do a video about. Airplane delays and more precisely what are airplane slots?
We’ve all experienced this before, you’re sitting at the gate and the nice lady informs you that your flight is being delayed. You immediately question why?
Well you’ll see five good reasons why pilots delay flights.
I hope you guys enjoy this video!
Thank you very much for your time!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe

I once missed a flight due to a delayed metro at a certain stop, plus I also assumed responsibility for having printed only the electronic ticket when I was supposed to print the boarding pass as well. Got into waiting line for the following day at 7AM and then finally took the designated flight. Now with the existance of Uber, online check-in, anticipated arrival to be at the front of the luggage claim line and being properly informed of the boarding gate approach procedures, getting ready to board is not hard anymore.

[@rlwings]

The reason passengers get upset is because the airline waits too long to explain in detail exactly what's going on... Like you did in this video... Good job!... If efforts were taken to explain things like slots, weather, mechanical problems, etc, along with descriptions of what is being done in real time and what to expect and why, then passengers would have a better understanding and feel less neglected. The 'need to know' is a very strong aspect of being human and needs to be accommodated by the airline. By any business that deals with the public and their time.

[@WCGwkf]

Exactly. I was delayed till 3 am once but luckily the airport is 20 mins away from home. I had to call the crappy customer service line for them to tell me they didn't have enough planes to fly the routes they scheduled.

[@mangos2888]

Mind you sometimes it's best not to know why you're delayed. (loose snakes on the plane)

[@SavannahSedai]

yes!!!! if the plane hasn't even taken off from the previous airport at the time we should be BOARDING they obvs knew about it hours earlier. i understand things happen but i would like to know. for instance my last flight was 3 hours delayed and if the airline could let us know those things i could have dropped my child off at school myself and had more time with them before having to leave. and this happens allllll the time from the airport we leave from.

"traffic controllers... no reason to go on strike"... "pilots... good reason to go on strike" No bias there! None that i can see!

[@primuszoon]

Lately we had some traffic controller strikes or at least disruptive service in Belgium. Simple reason was that because of governmental budget cuts over the last years there aren't simply enough controllers. The controllers get paid a lot, but they didn't get any day of from their legal holidays. Just imagine you can't go on holiday with your family for several years because they don't invest in new recruits. I'd also not show up at work if my employer neglects my holiday rights. And the last thing you want is to have frustrated ATC controlling the safety of thousands of people up in the sky. That's just disaster waiting to happen.

[@sophiacarlisle6540]

Thank you so much for another fantastic video :) . The parking spot example is a great example that applied to my recent flight from Charlotte to Orlando. I remembered on my boarding pass it said the flight was supposed to board at gate B4. I got to B4 15 minutes early and noone was around. Then I learned the gate changed to B 11, and then finally I learned the plane landed and parked at gate D11 . Of course my fellow passengers on the flight were ticked because we had to run through the atrium, and then run through concourse D to get to our gate, but I knew that day there was a good reason. I am always amazed at how the ATC folks manage so many planes at once. Same goes for the ramp agents for the embraer planes I flew on. I learned that my carry on luggage would not fit in the overhead bin, but I knew it was in good hands so I just let them take care of it :). I don’t get a chance to fly that often, but when I do, I make sure they know they’re appreciated :) .

[@duinsophie]

Great video Joe! The only thing that really makes me upset is the complete lack of communication with passengers. If there is a delay tell us, don't have us wait at the gate for over an hour without any explanation.

You know.. this is why we should never get angry at the pilot or the flight crew because.. hey.. anything can happen, and I believe that they will try the best they can to provide the best service out there. So.. if there's a delay just enjoy it, better safe than sorry.

I work in an airport lounge for a big Aussie airline and last year we had a couple of days of hell when weather issues meant Sydney airport run on a single Runway for most of the afternoon and then was shut completely for a good hour at least. Believe me, that was not fun at all for everyone. Most of the time delays just happen and it's no one's fault so don't get cranky at staff cause they can't often do much at all and there are procedures in place to ensure safety is the first word that comes up in a checklist before anything can happen. Well done for the video, Joe.

Pilots go on strike: "They have good reasons" ATC go on strike: "You make way too much money to go on strike". Love by an italian ATCo.

[@vl3005]

Yeah I was kinda thrown off by that as well... no way they make more money than pilots. Not cool at all. If Joe says ATC's make enough money and then contradicts it with pilot's strikes, he'd better explain why. I don't really know but something tells me that the ATCs went on strike not because of money but because of understaffing and long shifts... just a hunch. While pilots, again AFAIK, are only getting their hours of flight reduced every month (80) while retaining the same salary which is just high, period. So.. sorry pilots, I have no sympathy for you. But maybe Joe can remedy that.

[@charlesbutler4646]

Many years ago I was at BWI late one stormy, snowy night staring anxiously out a gate seating area window. I looked down and noticed a uniformed man in a flight uniform and hat with a flashlight carefully inspecting each tire and brake line, climbing up into each wheel well, scrutinizing every structure he could find for nearly 15 minutes in the freezing cold wind and sleet. No one else saw him, but I did. When he finally finished, he was covered in snow and was probably chilled to the bone. As far as I am concerned, he is a hero. I knew he was serious about safety, and I felt at peace during the ensuing turbulent, stormy flight to TPA. Pilots, like doctors, are trained, and know their business. Part of our ticket price is paying for their knowledge, and ability to keep us safe. Whenever I get annoyed at flight delays, I always think about that pilot in the snowstorm, and accept what has to be. I am also thankful for pilots like that US Air officer that snowy night.

[@653j521]

I think you forgot to mention 'operational reasons' Captain :). I am a former employee of airport ground operation and I can clearly say most of the delays occur because of Airline ITSELF. Poor crew planning particularly when flight crew unnecessarily changing aircrafts that delays to start boarding... poor schedule planning set by airlines that put enormous pressure to the ground handling companies and airports, this also makes impossible to be airborne on time even after push back... waiting transfer passengers and luggages from other aircrafts so on and on... Last but not least, I would put 'non-operational request from flight crew' forefront as a delay reason especially 'urgent smoking necessity' at outside of aircraft between flight legs. These are cannot be told to passengers as a delay reason obivously if you want to find airport in one piece :p. Just announce ' dear passengers, our flight is delayed because of the operational reasons for 30 minutes' and that's it

[@olli_k]

I used to be a rampy at two airports in Florida. Just to put a smile back on the faces of my front line coworkers I used to make sure that unreasonable passengers had just a little more frustration during their trip. I would routinely open a suitcase and place it upside down on the baggage claim belt so when it was picked up the contents would spill out. (Yes, that meant I had to pop a zipper now and then or break a lock. But hey, it happened during the flight when there was some turbulence....) Other times when I worked small planes and people would see me putting their bags on the plane, I would wait until they were all boarded and the door closed and then I would take their bag out of the plane and put it on the next flight. Yes, I would tell the pilot that something fell off my belt like my walkie talkie. But the one thing that I really wish I would have done with the single worst passenger I had ever come across was that I wanted to remove all identification from their bag and put an LAX tag on it and toss it into the conveyor belt maze below the airport. It would have gone to LAX, sat somewhere for a little while and with no identification it would have been disposed of. And at that time (early 90's) I heard that they were simply incinerating unmarked bags that were not claimed within a short period of time. It was kind of a backwards industry at that time from what I saw. The way to make my day better was to make a passengers day worse. But only if that person deserved it.

@@TheLibermania I agree. The only time I lost my temper (only a loud voice was used) is when my flight was canceled and when I ask how will I get home the gate agent said that's not my problem.

The air travel experience is quite stressful from the time of booking right through to leaving the arrival airport. It’s long, very complex and often unpredictable for all concerned. Personal attacks on front line staff is just wrong - no exceptions. I do however wish that the front line staff had a better info feed out of the system and were supported more by their management. The customer ranting so violently is most likely the same guy who cuts you up in road rage on the motorway or pushes ahead in queues. Pure selfishness.

Reason number one the flights are delayed for a reason the passengers to do more shopping.

Hi joe. First of all I wanted to thank you for being such a big inspiration and an effective motivator to all the aspiring pilots like me out there. Your videos have given me a lot of confidence to prepare hard and achieve my goal. However I wanted to suggest a topic for your upcoming video. Can you make a video on how pilots cope up mentally with a near death experience or a dangerous situation and regain their confidence to fly a plane after such an incidence? What should someone do to not lose confidence and go into a panic mode after suffering from such a situation?

[@shabab246]

You get numb to the idea. It’s like when you are driving and the car in front of you brakes hard and you do the same and stop. You just had a near death experience too. The next day you get in your car again right? You don’t think about it because you have become numb to the danger. it’s the same process except this car costs millions of dollars. That’s all.

[@Evo-IX]

Captain Joe I must say I have been watching your videos for a while now, both you and dutch pilot girl are fantastic, I have been looking into the best way to start a career as a pilot, yes it’s very expensive, yes it can be unsociable but there has always been something I just wanted to do, keep up the good work. Thanks.

delays based on late passengers doing shopping is a reason i can't excuse... but delays for technical reasons... i don't care. better late than never! and if a company had more than 3 technical reasons delays in 1 month I switch airlines .

[@GwadaPeople]

it happens everyday for any airlines

[@DenesSebestyenSebi]

As Joe mentioned, even a wrong bulb can ground a plane. And there's a reason.

[@shabab246]

What are you going to do after you run out of airlines? Maybe you can get a private corporate jet which does not break down. Oh wait but they do. All mechanical thins break down. Even your body parts don’t function perfectly forever.

[@JoeHupp]

One of my favourite delays was a 90 minute weather delay from Sydney Kingsford Smith (YSSY) to Dubbo City Regional (YSDU) - got a A$20 snacks credit due to the delay. I loved the way Qantas/QantasLink (actually was QantasLink because Qantas don't fly anything bigger than a Q400 to YSDU) put it out there for us to allow us to get things and be at our departure gate lounge before the flight was scheduled (was scheduled to fly to YSDU at 1900hrs but got held up and departed at 2030hrs)

[@howardepstein4416]

Agree with all you say. My admonition to crew is to communicate frequently to passengers. Let them know what is going on. Sometimes it is helpful to communicate reassurance even when there is no information to give. Multiple studies in customer service have shown this to be effective.

[@tsht]

Hey, French ATC also have reasons to be on strike, especially when everybody want to limit the number of employees... Which would surely cause less controllers for small airports for leisure aviation, and I think more accidents :(

[@arielkristianquinto3193]

If I’m an Airline Company’s Manager; Flight Attendant: Sir there is passenger complaining about the delay Me: okay, I’ll deal with him Also me: SIR IF YOU DON’T WANT TO EXPERIENCE FLIGHT DELAY, WHY DON’T YOU JUST FLY THE PLANE ALL BY YOURSELF?!

[@fenztiny]

You make some awesome videos there joe. I’ve learnt more about being pilot in the last 12 months since I subscribed to you than in 28 years of growing up. (Although we never grow up, our toys just get more expensive) and I’ve been an avgeek all my life. I hope one day to meet you. 😎😎

[@edmundescudero4997]

definitely right capt joe... I can say those passenger who always complain if aircraft had technical problem they dont care about their self and other passengers ..
