Well, I just checked the OT stats for the week ending 4/25 and we had a very good OT record of 83.9%. For the previous week last year, it was a phenomenal 90% OT. So yes, we slipped a bit, for the week. For the month, our OT stat is up over the same time period last year--with a higher load factor this year.
For those of you flying yesterday, it was a challenging day from an OT perspective. We finished the day at 75.9%. We had ground stops at FLL, PHL, and BWI with additional ground delay programs at PHL and LGA. Seven percent of our flights had equipment swaps in an attempt to restore the schedule.
