Which is exactly why we won't fly out of the small local airport (Willard in Savoy, IL) any more. Any mechanical/crew issue results in a delayed/cancelled flight. We've had four delays/cancellations in the last 8 tries flying in or out of there. Plus the flights from O'Hare to Willard get cancelled or delayed often enough that it's just as fast to drive the 3.5 hours home once we get back to O'Hare. No worth the hassle for the occasional time savings.
