Yeah we are doing our best on the 175. The numbers have not been great. We are taking a lot of delays do to late bag sheets and under blocked routes. I have emailed management on this, they are working with United on adjusting them. We fly the 175 pretty slow for fuel savings but the block times have not been adjusted. All delays are put on the crew so a ACARS message is required to change it. With the tight turns and under block, it's real easy to get behind on some routes.
