Has anyone noticed that the
IAD service has been having trouble departing and arriving on-time lately? The entire month of June hasn't seen one departure or arrival out of
IAD or
DUB within 20 minutes of the scheduled times. The majority have departed 45+ mins behind schedule.

I was on the 119 on the 13th, and we departed over an hour late, and arrived an hour late into
IAD. The explanation given by the captain once on board was that the plane was on a remote stand, and then had to be prepped for the flight, and the security check had to be done.
This is hardly an excuse. This plane arrived before 5am into Dublin that day. It doesn't take 8 hours to turn this plane around for a 12:45 departure.
EI is really struggling on this route lately and I'm not sure what the issue is on the ground in Dublin. However, the load that day seemed to be pretty solid with 20 in J.
