AC On Time Performance

In light of all of the recent threads about various delays I thought I'd start a thread about the terrible OTP that AC seems to be experiencing in general over the last several months. According to their own published stats at http://www.aircanada.com/en/about/otp/index.html they seem to have been consistently dead last among North American carriers.

For example the most common route I fly is AC10 between YYC and YYZ. From looking at Flightaware it appears that flight has almost never arrived on time. Curious to know what others experiences have been, ideas what the root cause of the problems is, and how they can be fixed. Maybe AC Top Tier or Andrew Yiu could offer some insights as well?

- Labour strife?
- Equipment reliability?
- Weather?
