Ha! Happens al the time. Here's the deal:

Lets say you're traveling from New York LaGuardia (Good luck by the way - talk about delays!) to Orlando. Say from wheels up to wheels down the flight time is 2:45. Now, here's the trick - remember when I told you above that the Federal Gov't delays us then fines us for being late? The way we avoid that now is to say that the flight leaving at 1:00 PM, with a flight time of only 2:45, has an arrival time in Orlando of 5:00 PM. That gives us 1:15 extra time to "make up the time" and still be on time. It's all a game.

Essentially you start to build in the delays, attempting in advance to compensate for them knowing full well that you're not causing them, have no control over them, and those very people causing them will hold you responsible for them.
