Re: United’s status message. A great example of what I call the “expert syndrome”. Anyone who works for an airline knows that such a delay is because the airplane that will be taking you away is late in arriving. I can see how from the guest’s standpoint it looks like a “no, duh” momemt–of course the delayed flight is a “late aircraft”.
Oh, the importance of context and communicating so our intended audience receives the message we intend to send.
