The way that D:0 is calculated, if the flight is delayed due to weather, then it does not count against the D:0. But, if that delay causes a delay in the next flight (either because you were so delayed that you can't make the time up on the turn, or another airplane is delayed because they were waiting for your gate, or there was a DH crew on your airplane that can't get to their airplane, or several other reasons), then all of those other delays ARE counted against us for D:0. So, during the summer, any D:0 above 80% is pretty good considering there are thunderstorms in CLT just about every day.

And, if AWAC's fuel numbers are better than PSA's, then I really feel bad for the guys at AWAC. After seeing all of the nonsense that we put up with at PSA to keep our fuel numbers as low as possible, I would hate to think what you have to do to get them even lower.
