Well, I -assume the brand new people in scheduling are frantically working on that as we type.

And then, of course, the not inconsiderable component of labor issues w/ new aircraft being declared MX at the most damaging time (waiting till right before flight), etc., etc-- some of that hopefully is on it's way to resolving itself with new contract. I'd think just dropping some frequencies as a stop-gap or eliminating improbably tight equipment turns at airports where that is resulting in more failures than successes -seem- to me to be pretty easy to accomplish pretty quickly to start the process of returning to an acceptable on-time % and immediately improve the customer experience at least a little compared to the current situation.
