That has been my experience on AA so far this year.

That said, things aren't as bad as they were immediately after 3/3, but their reliability worries me. Right now I have four trips on tap for September. I've purchased one on UA, but I'm leaning to AA for the other three because I need to arrive on time for the other three trips.

Sunday was the first day I've worked since 3/3 where each of the flights I was working left on time.

The system has huge, huge limitations, and I cannot help customers the same way I used to.
As long as UA sticks with a user unfriendly PSS, I don't think things will ever get back to where they used to be. I still cannot fathom why UA chose a tool that makes their employees less efficient.
