Based on the most recent BTS report (April 2018 -- issued June 2018), Mainline AA's 12 month trailing on-time arrival is 80.9% and UA's is 83.2%. AA has consistent been behind UA and sometimes behind WN (78.7%). HA (88.5%), DL (86.4%) and AS (84.7%) have been the leaders. Individual airports and routes may vary.

Why is it I end up on 16.8% of UA's flights
