According to this, UA should retire most of the fleet in favor of the 737-500.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
The issue isn't on-time percentage, it's fleet maintenance. And my anecdotal experience says CO did a much, much better job than UA. Or, if not a better job, at least less duct tape and bailing wire.
