i expect more than 4 out of 5 flights to be on time especially when the definition of on time is already pretty loose, given the schedule padding levels AND the additional 15 minute buffer they get to define a flight as "on time".

anyways i do seem to remember that the fearless leader did tout 80% as a goal at one point or another. spin88 can probably ID the actual conversation or presser.
