CO's on-time departures are only at 77% vs. NW's 87%+. What's wrong with hanging around the gate area a few extra minutes to make sure you get your upgrade rather than delaying a plane full of people while an agent goes onboard and starts re-seating everyone?</font>
What month are you looking at?!? According to the DOT, in June 2001 NW's on-time performance was 78.0%, same figure as for the 12 months ending in 06/2001. CO's numbers for the same periods?: 76% and 80%.

To say nothing of the fact that implying these alleged differences are only due to the upgrade policy is a big stretch...

btw, nice to see you back so soon MRJ...
