Nice to see them getting recognition in this area, as it helps operations and one could argue safety as well.
The only mech delays I've had on the Embraer 170's are computer problems, and they've always been fixed by a ~15 min reboot. Unfortunately, I've had a lot of them, including this morning in IAH.
I know they're 170 teething issues that US can't do a lot about without computer firmware upgrades, but they get old real fast.
