Default UAL Operations

Here is my last trip:

Leg 1...left eng won't start. Eng fuel valve. RTB. Mechanic resets fuel handle, signs off write up. push back again. left eng still won't start. Eng fuel valve. no parts in Denver. flight cancels. dh to layover.

leg 2...pack temp controller deferred but timed out! Mechanics fix pack temp controller. 2 hr delay. finally board, cater. NO FUEL. CSR asks "you got everything?". Capt. replies "no, we need about 40 THOUSAND pounds of gas". Another 40 minutes before we push. 3 hrs + late.

leg 3...15 min late due to load planning delay before takeoff
leg 4...1:10 late due to late inbound. Many intl' conx are missed
leg 5... 11 min late
leg 6...48 min late due to late inbound.
