The last few weeks, the jet stream has been stronger than average. I'm guessing on many of those days, 50kts stronger than average.
To make a fair comparison, how was eastbound OTP?
A YYZ-YVR I did at the beginning of the month, we were 4:45 in the air.
About 25 minutes longer than the average I've experienced for that type of a/c.(B777)
Eastbound a couple days earlier, same equipment, airborne time 3:40.
AC may have one of the worst OTP rates, but how does their completion rate compare?
The Americans have the tarmac rule to contend with. This results in a higher cancellation rate.
Especially for flights that will experience severe delays.
It's all fine to say that American hubs have a better OTP,
but hundreds of regional flights are cancelled to make the mother ship look good.
