Delta I'm sure... I mean... A14 is a much tougher number to tackle. Weather and flow that aren't blocked in to the leg? You're done. The controllable aspect of A14 goes back to D0/Star D0 (and increasing block times on legs that often miss A14, some flights are not blocked long enough like SEA-SNA.) Once we push off the gate on time, most of elements after that are out of our control... how long it takes to push, taxi, and takeoff.... and flight time is gonna be what the flight time is gonna be. The only "fix" for A14 is controlling D0 (maybe let us leave 10 prior going to Seattle...) and fixing underblocked flights. If you say it's gonna take 2 hrs, and every time we do it in 2:20, the A14 isn't the problem.
