Airlines to not clarify the meaning of "weather" delays to their employees. If there is no weather issue at the origin of the inbound flight, or at the destination flight, the delay is due to "late arrival of aircraft", even if that aircraft was delayed by weather at some point earlier in the day. Many airline employees are led to believe that if there is a weather delay anywhere in the system the delay at their station is "weather related" and passengers are not entitled to compensation or accommodation. That should not be the case.
