What BBN said about it

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentGreg Norman, the Australian golf great, has called Qantas the never-on-time airline. So, should you be worried? About your flight, I mean.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA golfer is mad about waiting. Golf. The sport where four guys stand around a bush for ten minutes.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe criticism is about on-time performance. That is the whole story. Nothing in the data says why.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTen minutes. At a bush.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentKenji, a delay is measured against a schedule. A round of golf has no schedule. It has vibes and a cart.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the plane's just waiting for the group ahead to finish putting. Honestly, relatable.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt is one man's opinion, and it is not a ruling. Verdict: mildly worried. Pack a snack.
