And it's not AA. While enduring a 5-hour delay due to mechanical problems in Houston and LAX on same plane (eventually switched to another gate/aircraft), I wandered through tunnel to LAX T5 and T4. While UA departure screens were littered with afternoon and evening delays and cancellations, DL and AA screens were showing a very high percentage of on times.

Side note - DL T5 is really nice (for LAX). AA T4 is dark, narrow, low ceilings - must be AA's version of UA's IAD. My feeling is UA's T7 will be nicer than T4 at end of reservations, but AA may still be operationally better. The T6 renovation is coming along nicely - big Starbucks and a sundry store where Jody Maroni's used to be.
