It's a sad attempt to boost their paychecks by overblocking every single leg. Was behind them about 2 years ago from LGA-MCI. Center noticed the speed discrepancy, and asked them their speed. ".64." They accepted a vector off course and a lower altitude to keep that speed, so that every eastbound airplane out of LGA passed over them and around them.

The sad part is they continue to be awarded flying, while the rest of us work hard to put up excellent on-time performance numbers each month.

Proof positive that Richard Anderson only cares about one thing: cost. Pitiful.
