I don't know and have not speculated where UA stands in regards to other carriers but they obviously have a terrible performance record lately. You say it's an improvement over last year and other carriers. O.K. But going from horrible to terrible is nothing to be proud of. I'd also like to see where those numbers come from. If they are D.O.T. numbers then they DON'T include mechanicals and I dont think they include Int flights. If an airline has 100 flights a day, 99 of which are delayed due to mechanicals, according to the D.O.T. They have a 100% on time record.

I guess we can really believe what we see, not a napkin
