I think you need to read your BTS stats. UA is by no means near the top of the list...It IS the summer...summer has delays for everyone. B6 and DL both cncld tons of flights last week, so did NW. UA has not had these issues any more than any other airline (let's leave the Hawaiin airlines out...they are in a different class.)
Yeah, but a delay in B6's 34-36" pitch is much more comfortable than it would be for a non-elite on UA.
