I'm seeing more issues with LAA ops than LUS ops. Just this week the LUS flights I flew were generally all on time (8 segments); the LAA flights (4 of them) had missing crews, equip swaps multiple times and in one case a last minute change to another FO causing a 50 min delay.
This was connections in ORD and PHX (don't know if PHX has an LAA 737 domicile or they all fly PHX inline from another hub - these were NOT LUS crews in PHX). Granted seen no issues out of DFW at all this summer (other than normal weather issues)
