DXB gets ridiculously hot in the summers and they don’t have the heat as an excuse for massive delays.

Seems to me that this airline, other airlines, and a lot of airports already know how things should go with hotter temps and need to get ahead of the curve instead of repeatedly behind it.

Going cheap has consequences and UA is in a better position to get PANYNJ to up their game on the basics than the average passenger putting their backside in UA’s seats at EWR and elsewhere.
I'm sure if we got rid of LGA, JFK, PHL, etc - EWR would have less delays. The airspace congestion has much to do with delays at EWR - nor is it an airport that was designed for multiple 100+ degree days.
