Have you noticed this on any AA flights in 2013, or are you referring to their labor issues back around October-November? I've done 12 segments the last two weeks and only one flight was really off schedule (struts needing inspection at DFW during maintenance shift change--took an hour delay on departure to LGA). Everything else was on time. If those pilots and flight attendants are still protesting, not very apparent to me.

Should add clearing 12 upgrades in a row is a nice start to 2013.
