Hello. First time poster - although long time follower. Great site. I have been following the status of BA 292 - IAD to LHR for the past few weeks as I will be flying next week (first flight on A380!). It is most always late in departing - last night almost 6 hours. I know schedules are a mess these days - staffing issues (especially at LHR) - but many other BA flights do not seem to be suffering like this. Curious on any insights. Perhaps lack of additional aircraft?
The incoming aircraft has been delayed coming in to IAD, so I am guessing staffing issues to handle a A380 could be the reason. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/BAW293
Also, this was the flight last week that had a water leak and the economy passengers at the back of the plane took a shower! viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1473833
Looking into the future, it looks like British Airways has delayed this flight by an hour for like the next week or so. Do you think we can expect this flight to be delayed an hour every single day? I am also asking because I am booked on the same flight in August.
It was a choice between a united 767, or a British Airways A380.
