On time....on A.net

I got slammed a while back for saying if UA/CO couldn't operate the nonstop reliably with a 757 (BCN-EWR) then they shouldn't fly the route at all. The supporters all came out saying "Well just be happy you have the nonstop to chooose from!" I could care less since if they took it away it would just be one less flight into EWR from a congestion standpoint.

I think the FAA should be cracking down on this type of thing. I think back in 2007 there was some sort of class action suit brought against CO for the diversions but it was dropped. Anybody remember that?
