Really, the hassle of entering a number is more significant to you than decent snacks most of the day?

An airplane is a machine, older machines get worn with age (fact), and unreliable as they age. You can maintain it all you want, it's still getting worn.
If the planes look bad inside (the parts we can see) can you imagine what the parts we can't see look like
What are the current dispatch rates for the PMCO and PMUA fleets? I suspect maintenance is way more significant than aircraft age given the moderate (40%) difference in aircraft age.

Which particular equipment are you referring to? Which PMCO aircraft have them or which PMUA do not?
