Most airlines only inform passengers the flight delays by displaying the 'Delayed' sign on the board displaying flight number, and nothing else. But some low cost airlines do better.

Oh, and did I mention the ...

I mean, of course like not within a few weeks or months, but within maybe a few years. Currently, there are 2 planes that seem to be very capable of filling the role the F - 16 ...
