Huh.

So whatever it is, CO was capable of operating just fine pre-merger. As was UA.

(Note that DL subs are very present in the delayed flights during that summer... during DL's merger.)

Was this before the Tarmac Delay rules went into effect? I remember CO just saying screw it, we won't delay flights, we'll cancel them outright to avoid the possibility of fines.
