Oh, and RE waiting for the numbers: we've gotten waaaay better in the last 3 or 4 years. The vast majority of the time I get mine as we're pushing. Miami has especially gotten better (they couldn't go anywhere but up). The only time in the last few months I've had to wait significantly was in Seattle (on intrabase tdy to domestic). That operation is just short of incompetent.
I have seen an improvement at AA out of ATL. There was a time when it was bad enough that ATL ground wouldn't let ramp release AA flights until they got their numbers.
