Flight delayed but they still make booking without

I am amazed with BA (sarcastic) <br> I booked my ticket yesterday afternoon, straight after opened the app to check my boarding pass and to my surprise, there is a notifiction that my domestic flight - ehich I just booked seconds ago - of the next afternoon is delayed by just shy of 2 hours! Why did you not display that message when I booked !?!?! <br> Standing in the queue now, new departure time passed now ... When I asked what is the est departure now BA staff told me 'I dont want to lie anymore' and walked away ... what!?!?! <br> Just give us all an update to est departure time ... I am shocked!!!! <br> <br> I phoned head office earliet today and they informed me that 2 aircraft were grounded yesterday for unplanned maintenance ... that is even more scary ... 'Unplanned' ?
