If Your Flight Is Delayed, It Could Be Because the Pilot Is Hungry

One anonymous pilot revealed that sometimes when a flight is delayed, it could be because a pilot got a little hungry. Essentially, pilots could work 14-hour days with no lunch break; when they do, it could be only an hour long. However, switching planes or walking to a new aircraft in a different terminal can take up most of the hour. So if there is no time to buy food beforehand, the pilot must grab something at the airport.

Even standing in line at a restaurant in an airport can take forever. So if you want to be a good person and see a pilot in line with you, let them cut you. You could be helping prevent an entire flight delay.
