None, one RTG for ATC delay.
There have been some RTFs in the last couple weeks, and yes I would say the percentage is higher than others when you only have 160+ departures a day. Looking at all regional carriers, and even mainline, I see everyone has their day. A RTF is not necessarily an "emergency," and could be out of an abundance of caution. Also, keep in mind that our Dash-8s don't have acars, we can't easily work with dispatch and sometimes a RTF is the best option.
