You heard wrong or you're making crap up. I think it is more so the latter.

There are 6 airplanes in service, plenty of staffing and there have been MINOR mechanical issues that are normal with new airplanes.

The UA CRJ operation has seen a remarkable uptick in performance since the entire operation was moved to IAD. We are talking 7 MX cxls in the last week, 4 of which were caused by ramp damage taking the aircraft out of service for the day and 1 other was a bird strike.
