There's a penalty. Not sure what it is for AWA. Varies by contract... It's debilitating at XJT because it has roots in what was negotiated back in the Continental days where hub/outstation performance was much better, and cx/delays barely ever happened. The UA way puts much more onus on crews to make up for lack of ground support competency to the point it appears setup to cause penalizing delays.
