Of course we all want to be safe, but often these delays shouldn't have happened in the first place. When airlines outsource their D checks to El Salvador and reduce maintainance procedures, things are bound to break more often. Older airplanes require attention more often than newer ones. All of these factors involve financial decisions made by airlines, and when things go wrong and delays ensue passengers have every reason to complain and vote with their wallets and keystrokes.
